The whole time of being online with my Freelance Writing blog (which nears one year next month by the way), I have been on a shared hosting account. Little did I know that this could potentially get me into some deep trouble.
For starters, did you know that being on a shared host could get your Adsense account banned? Yes, it’s true. A friend of mine shared his hosting account with a spammer and got shut down by Google. No remorse. They simply don’t care.
How would you feel if that happened to you? What if the main portion of your income relied on Adsense. This is a heavy pill to swallow and certainly not what I would want to happen to me either.
Especially since I’m getting into niche marketing seriously know. My first site is up and running and after building for some weeks I finally put my Adsense up and now I’m already earning.
Already ranking in the tops spots on Google for several keywords, this site will go from strength to strength and that’s only the beginning. Plus it helps having been mentored one on one by a leading niche marketer too. Besides this, I’m also building BANS sites and while doing so having a whole lot of fun getting my domains.
So the decision to move to my own server was necessary to save me potential headaches in the future.
See, if you are on a shared domain with someone, you are sharing the same IP address and this could mean serious trouble. Another friend of mine lost his blog overnight, because the guy who shared his server was another spammer and he got shut down without warning.
Eventually after much headaches and annoyance he got his blog hosted again on another host, but it wasn’t really necessary. That is also why I strongly recommend you go with a reputable company like Hostgator for example.
Bluehost stuffed up another friends blog last week. It just disappeared without trace and naturally he was freaking out. So he too had to find himself a good host.
We work too hard on our blogs to have this happening to us and I warn everybody NOT to go with some cheap hosting company, just because they are cheap. Look for a reputable business who has been in the industry for some time and has a great track record.
Then once you can afford it, move to your own server.
I’d love to know from you guys on what hosting company you recommend. Not because you heard it from a friend, but because you are using it and are happy doing so. Who knows, we might get a good collection of companies that we could recommend without worry.
