Welcome to web Hosting Blueprint on Passive Blogger.
Many newbie bloggers and friends often asked me, which Web Hosting I Use on My Blog (Passive Blogger)?
Mostly newbie bloggers are confused when they’re looking for web hosting to start a blog?
Don’t hassle Yourself! I got your detailed answer on this page…
Are you excited? Let’s get started!
Web Hosting Blueprint:
In this detailed page, I only shared the hosting blueprint I used for the Passive Blogger. And I will share with you my real-life experience, what I use in the past and what I’m currently using.
(Hosting history on Passive Blogger)
Bluehost (1st web host)
Let’s drive in the hosting blueprint. I started Passive Blogger (previously named Mystartupblog) on October 15th, 2020 with Bluehost (basic plan). I build this blog just for helping people.
At that time I didn’t have full focus on this blog because I have other niche blogs (amazon affiliate) on which I was focused most.
Anyway, Why did I Choose Bluehost?
I choose Bluehost because of its flexibility and user-friendliness. As I just want to host my new site, and Bluehost has everything I was looking for.
Why I Change Bluehost?
As I started Passive Blogger on Bluehost Basic plan,(single website) because I had no plan to grow. But when I spend more time with my blog I get more passionate about it.
When I wanted to make this blog to the next level and I want to change my brand name, the problem came. The name I picked (MyStartupBlog) I didn’t like at all, So I replace the domain name with the new name, then I found Passive Blogger (.com).
As I hosted my blog (MyStartupBlog) on Bluehost (basic plan) which has allowed me to host a single website. Due to changing the name, I had to upgrade the hosting plan.
At that time my budget was a bit low, so I decided to migrate my site (affordable option) somewhere.
Note: If you plan to start a WordPress blog with Bluehost avoid buying Bluehost Basic plan.
That’s the only reason I Change Bluehost. But almost 6 months with Bluehost was an amazing and hassle-free experience.
ScalaHosting (2nd web host)
This is the second web hosting service, which I use for Passive Blogger (dot com) after Bluehost. I start using Scalahosting (shared hosting) on May 6th, 2021.
Anyway, Why did I Choose Scalahosting?
A friend of mine who recommended me to try Scalahosting also found some good reviews on Trustpilot and low pricing.
Eventually, they raise their plan pricing model in June.
Why I Change ScalaHosting?
There are two main reasons I have changed Scalahosting
- CPU Limit
- Page Speed
1st Reason CPU Limit:
The very first reason was the tremendous growth of my blog. Within 3 months my website traffics grow by 500 (users/m) to 3.3k traffic.
Then I got a CPU limit warning from Scalahosting on July 30, 2021. As I was using Shared hosting, they ask me to upgrade their VPS plan.
As their basic VPS plan cost me $19-$35 months, so I start looking for alternatives and choose Managed WordPress hosting.
2nd Reason SPEED:
I wasn’t satisfied with my website speed. After updating Google’s “core web vitals”, website page speed is the major ranking factor, so I need more fast page loading for my website.
Rocket.net (3rd hosted)
I hosted my blog (Passive Blogger) on Rocket hosting. After migrating to rocket the page speed got huge improvements.
You can compare the previous one and the new one. With the previous hosting, my page speed was up to 5 seconds to take load my website. After migrating it takes to 3 seconds or less.
Anyway, Why did I Choose Rocket.net?
When I found the page speed issues and CPU limits on the previous hosting, I decided to go with managed hosting.
After analyzing some of the Managed WordPress hosting on my own I found Rocket. And I’m fully satisfied with rocket hosting.
Bluehost (Again)
After using Rocket hosting, I back again to Bluehost (Currently Passive Blogger hosted on Bluehost). I only change it because it cost me more, which increase my blogging cost.
Otherwise, I’m very satisfied with Rocket and its worth of money, If you’ve budget and a big site has huge traffic you can try Rocket blindly.
As of now, Passive Blogger has minimum traffic I think paying more it hurt my blogging expense. So I decided to migrate my blog again to Bluehost because it is affordable, fast, and reliable.
Previously I didn’t have any complaints with Bluehost and I was fully satisfied that’s why I move back again. But This time I picked Choice Plus Plan, which is perfect for growing your business, and overall it’s good for Passive Blogger.
The Bluehost Choice plus uptime and page speed are quite satisfying. If you plan to start a new blog, try Bluehost but pick Plus or Choice Plus plan, don’t make the same mistake as I did.
Which Web Hosting is Best for Beginners in 2023?
Choosing the best blog hosting services for your new blog or website can seem a bit daunting.
There are so many different options, price ranges, and features, making it a bit overwhelming when you’re just getting started on your own blog.
If you’re a complete beginner go with Bluehost; By far the best and most reliable hosting service I have ever used (and somehow also the most affordable).
Even, It’s super easy to use, WordPress recommends itself, and also the customer support is GREAT as well!
Why Bluehost is Good for Beginners?
I personally chose BlueHost for my own website, I realize that Bluehost is the easiest and beginner-friendly web hosting on the market.
The reasons I chose BlueHost are its flexibility, WordPress integration, customer support, uptime, and a few others.
Another great thing about BlueHost is that they’re officially recommended by WordPress.org themselves since 2005!
As you know WordPress is the largest blogging platform (cms) in the world, and they personally recommended Bluehost because of its user friendliness.
For example, when you sign up with BlueHost, with one click you can integrate the WordPress dashboard to start creating your new site within minutes.
This is great for beginners as you won’t have to try and figure out how to link your new hosting services with any website building software.
By far, It is all seamlessly integrated into everything for you! So if you want to start a blog with WordPress as your blogging platform, getting BlueHost as your host is an excellent option.
Don’t puzzle yourself believe me undoubtedly Bluehost is a good fit if you’re a beginner and beyond.
What Host Should You Use for Blog?
I personally chose BlueHost for my own website because of its flexibility and beginner friendliness. If you’re a starter blogger it’s a good fit for you as well!
On the other hand, if you already have a growing blog, but want something better services Rocket is the best place to go.
That’s all about the hosting blueprint (Hosting history on Passive Blogger).
