La Crosse, WI (PRWEB) September 7, 2007
Midwest Monitor.com, a web host since 2003, has launched a blog hosting service located at http://www.fivedollarblog.com. The rate, as you can guess, is just $ 5.00 a year. The service is for those looking to host their blog without putting up with forced advertisements or server limitations. It is an ideal service for the power blogger seeking to conserve their dollars.
Besides offering installation of popular blogging platforms like WordPress, clients can have access to their databases through phpmyadmin if they request it. The accounts come with 200mb of storage, ftp access and an associated email address. Additional upgrades are available.
Is Fivedollarblog.com the next Blogger.com? The company admits that this might be a reach at this point. But the owner, Tony Horvath, says, “A lot of the big blog sites are losing their writers because there are too many constraints on them. In terms of functionality, many bloggers feel that something like WordPress is much preferred, but now you’re not talking free anymore. You need to get a host and some free hosts won’t do since they won’t allow you to have databases. While it’s true that we aren’t talking free, $ 5.00 is about as inexpensive as you can get. And you get to have any kind of blog platform that you want, not just WordPress, and not just our own proprietary platform.”
He continues, “The market for web hosting is pretty competitive out there. The fact is that there is a lot of unused storage and bandwidth, and a small company like mine can’t compete with companies giving out 80 gigs of storage. On the other hand, I’m not stuck with a bunch of machines that are doing nothing, so I can afford to offer a service that might not be worth the time of some of the bigger outfits. There are a lot of people out there looking to blog and I’m glad that I can introduce a little Midwest hospitality to the mix.”
One advantage of using this service is the ability to optimize one’s blog for maximum search engine exposure while not losing traffic to the host company itself. For users that find the services to be ideal, parking services are available as well so that even though the site is hosted at youraccount.fivedollarblog.com, you can inexpensively point a domain to your blog as well. The fee for this is nominal. For those deciding that they should simply break down and subscribe to a full service web hosting account, in some situations their account can be simply upgraded without losing any data.
MidwestMonitor.com, headquartered near La Crosse, WI, is also pleased to announce a relationship with Garcea Computers (http://www.garceacomputers.com), located in Rockford, IL. This arrangement allows the folks at MidwestMonitor to focus on the things that make them happy — web hosting — and still provide their clients an avenue to obtain quality design services.
“This is a solid arrangement, as design has never been one of MidwestMonitor.com’s strong suits. Garcea Computers has a staff with a lot of experience. Our relationship helps clients be certain that the web design services they purchase will be compatible with their web server, as both our companies will be working together.”
Jeff Garcea agrees, “I’ve been pleased to add various kinds of services that I offer. Lately we’ve brought on staff a designer with years of experience. We are looking forward to a long relationship with MidwestMonitor.com.”
