Tools You Need To Start A Blog

Bluehost

Going self-hosted is the best thing you can do for your blog and it can cost as little as $2.95 a month. For new bloggers, I highly recommend Bluehost, as it also comes with a free domain for the first year.

Namecheap

The second thing you need in order to launch your blog is your URL. If yours isn’t included in the hosting package, you will need to purchase one separately and Name Cheap has the best offers, (as low as $10).
