If you end up going with Bluehost, the plan

[zihadhosenjm90]

If you end up going with Bluehost, the plan I recommend is their Choice Plus plan, because it comes with a Domain Privacy feature. This keeps your personal information as a website owner private and withholds it from being publicly visible online. You can choose any of the options, though, and just add domain privacy in the checkout process for about $1/mo.

Bottom line, self-hosting your WordPress blog with a company like Bluehost is the most affordable option.
The cost to host your own blog is quite minimal compared to any other popular website builders—around $65/year.

It’s quite a bit cheaper than using WordPress.com’s paid plans (which unlock the australia telemarketing data of features you’d want if you’re hoping to grow a blog as a business).

When you use WordPress.org, there are a lot of free themes and WordPress plugins that new bloggers can hit the ground running with. Free themes and plugins are still a very viable way to build a good-looking website on a budget.

If you want to have more control over your blog though, you may ultimately opt to buy a premium plugin or theme (like the OptimizePress or Elementor themes that power my blog).

We’ll discuss plugins (most of which are free) more soon, but there are times when a paid plugin is worth your money.

You may also choose to pay for a more fully-featured WordPress theme if you’re unable to find a free option that suits your needs.

A self-hosted blog on WordPress allows you to be as simple or as complex as you’d like with your site.

If you’re not an experienced web developer, but you have a specific look in mind, you can still always find a professional on a freelance site to customize your blog on a budget.
