Recently I moved to a new apartment closer to where I worked to save on traveling expenses. However, the costs of renovating and furnishing the place is really taking a toll on my credit card expenses. Image by The Pug Father (Not my actual apartment )

Within 2 months of moving into the nice new apartment, I realized that I have overspent on many things. Instead of trying to save some money moving to a new place to cut on traveling expenses, I have instead spent more overall.

Anyway, I can’t go returning the new furnitures or get the contractor to undo the renovations. Instead, I need to find ways to pay off my credit card bills.

Since I owe the credit card company some amount in credit card debt, I did a balance transfer credit card and immediately I could save some money.

A few days ago, a friend told me about an article he read in the Internet about people making a living via their blog sites. Since he didn’t have much experience on how to start a web site, I sent him a few links to look through. After a few days of reading and researching, he managed to start his very first blog site – Google Adsense Tutorial. The blog site was hosted on blogger.com and he asked me about the possibility of hosting on a proper web hosting company since he has heard of blogspot sites being hijacked and removed for no reason.

I told him that there are many web hosting out there in the market today. It all depends on one’s needs and requirements. For some, they would go for lower cost while some would go for one which provides unlimited bandwith.

So his next question to me, where is a good place to start looking for web hosting plans? And if possible, it should show him a list of top web hosting plans so that he could easily compare them side by side.

Without hesitating, I recommended to him a site that’s at the back of my head called FindMyHosting.com

FindMyHosting.com allows one to easily search and compare web hosting plans. Continue Reading »
