First, let me start by saying that I’m not a website builder or an expert in the blogging field in any way. I’m just sharing how I started up my blog for minimal costs.

There are so many hosting options to choose from when creating a blog. There are a few well-known free options, Wix, Wordpress.com and Blogspot/Blogger.

WordPress and Blogspot will both give you options for a free blog using a subdomain; I don't recommend it. Subdomains look tacky and make the URL too long. Yes, you do have to purchase a domain name to not have the tacky subdomain, but trust me, it’s worth it!

-- If you start a blog with Blogspot/Blogger and purchase a domain through Google Domains, you only have to pay for your domain every year! No other costs, you don’t have to pay for hosting or learn anything about web design.
