Domain Hosting for Your Blog

Kranthi asks:
I like to start a new blog on careers category, Can you advice a good Domain Hosting service which also allows the banners like Shaadi, ICICI and many more. I will be waiting for your reply.

Answer:
You wait is over and here is the answer to your question.

If you are looking for a custom domain name (like Kranthisblog.com) for your Blogger blog (say, Kranthisblog.blogspot.com), you needn’t necessarily have a hosting. You can just register a domain name and use the CNAME in the control panel of your domain to map it to your blog. Now when someone type Kranthisblog.com in their browser, you will get your blog shown to them. Is that all you wanted?

In the above arrangement, all your files physically reside on the Blogspot. If actually want those files to be on your server, you would need your own domain and a host. For this you again have two options.

Free hosts
You can use the 000webhost [affiliate link]. They provide you get 350 MB of disk space and 100 GB bandwidth and there is no kind of advertising on your pages.

Paid Hosts
If you are looking for a paid host, you may use any of the following. What you need to look at it, how much bandwidth they provide, how friendly their services are and how much space you want to have. Bluehost and hostgator are good ones. Their packages start at around 5$ a month if you order for 3 years at a go.
