0. -> Detailed Introduction of Blogging

After reading this post, I promise that you will definitely start blogging and your articles will be on top of google soon because I have covered all the things you need to know before starting a blog as a beginner and writing a blog post. So without wasting time, Let me introduce you to blogging.

What is Blogging?

Blogging simply means to write a post and publish on the website. Post can be a review or story or information or introduction or anything you want to write. Now blogging is not a side or part-time job it's a career and bloggers are professionals with high revenue and salary.

Why Blogging? It's Advantages and Disadvantages.

Now many of you have a question, Why to create a blog? or Why to start blogging?

There is not only a single answer for this question, One can start blogging for earning money which is the most common reason today. Anyone can start blogging to share his experience or you can use blogging to gain an audience for your products which many top companies and brands are doing these days.

I will explain all possible ways of earning from blog in last paragraphs of this post so read it carefully.

So, Let's Start This Step by Step Blogging Guide with the very first step of blogging.

1. -> Select Niche of Blog with Research

This is the most challenging part of starting a blog. If you get a perfect Niche, You got a GEM and If you get a bad one then it may be poison for your blogging career. Niche is the root of blogging or you can say the base. It decides the amount of traffic and competition you will face on your posts.

What is a Blog Niche?

What is a blog Niche?

Niche means a topic that your website is going to cover. We choose a Niche or particular topic so that we do not face high competition and can get a good amount of traffic. To be more precise, you need to cover only selected topics on your blog posts. It will help to rank your article fast and easily. For example, I have a blog for mobile review or I have a blog for English Teaching etc.

So before starting blog give time to choose a perfect niche, it may take 12 hours to 12 days so don't be in a hurry if need a successful blog. Choose your niche very carefully.

If there is less competition in a particular topic or so-called Niche and you have a quality website with Quality and Thoroughly Content then definitely it's going to rank. But these day choosing a perfect niche for the blog is very difficult work.

How to Choose a Perfect Niche for your blog?

You have to do some research to check about the competition (SEO based and CPC Based), you have to check CPC of your Niche and primary keyword. Before choosing a niche make sure how deeply you know about that particular topic because at the end you have to write a blog post on that topic and if you do not know much about that topic you can not write a quality blog by just researching.

Here is a video that may help you with choosing perfect niche for your blog.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oU8lclN114

I am using them currently to check competition and traffic.

When you have a niche you are ready to go for second step of starting a blog.

2. -> Choose Domain and Hosting

The easiest part of blogging that seems too much complicated is choosing a perfect domain and hosting. If you are just going to start a blog go with budget hosting plan with a free domain like Hostarmada, Bluehost and Dreamhost.

What is Domain? Why do you Need?

Domain is a address for your blog, like bloggertutor.com. Before starting your website you need to choose an remembering and meaningful domain. From below you can check availability of your domain.

What is Hosting? Why do you Need?

Hosting is a place where your website data and files are going to be stored. In easy words, Hosting is a server for your blog. You need it to store your website files on internet so that everyone can access the data and information provided by you on your website or blog.

How to Choose Best Hosting for Starting Blog?

The most important thing about choosing hosting is, "Hosting depends on requirement of website", I mean If you have a eCommerce website you are definitely going to need a huge server but If you are just a starter in blogging and you have a normal blog website, you do not need a huge server.

Which Hosting is best for Starter Blog?

For normal blog website I think 10 GB SSD Space (Cloud SSD if Possible) with min 512 MB of RAM and Single core CPU with 100 GB monthly Bandwidth is enough. The above configuration is enough for a blog with Less than 75 Post and daily traffic of 1000.

These days too many resellers provide cheap hosting saying that it has huge resources with high configuration but in actuality, they are lacking everything so be aware of these type of frauds.

Here is a list of all Budget hosting provider that you can choose as a beginner blogger.

Hostarmada Review - Best or Worst Hosting of 2020? Honest Opinion

In this blog I will cover everything about Hostarmada with Pros and Cons including my personal experience with proof. So Read this blog till end to get a better review of Hostarmada.

Hostarmada Detailed Introduction

Before starting Hostarmada Review let us just talk about them first.

Hostarmada is a newly launched independent Hosting Company founded in the last quarter of 2019. Please notice one thing that I mentioned them as Independent which means they do not resell hosting from anywhere. They have their own dedicated Team for everything, from server management to Client Support.

As a Starter Hosting Company and as a beginner they have approx 2000 client told by one of their support members and I think its good number. Even I have migrated this blog from siteground to hostrmada after trying their hosting in demo site and checking performence. The reason is mentioned below

Technology used by Hostarmada Hosting

So let's start Hostarmada review with the most important factor of any hosting company i.e. Server Technology and Infrastructure. They have Cloud SSD based server like siteground but they are using Linode Cloud infrastructure instead of Gooogle Cloud on Siteground.

They have one thing that makes their server more powerful than siteground and another provider is LiteSpeed Technology. Now many of you are familiar with LiteSpeed but who are not let me tell you that LiteSpeed is something that enhances your normal Apache server without much interference.

-> Siteground Honest Review of 2020

The above image shows after using LiteSpeed the server load reduces to very low. Which means you can handle more visitor and requests on the same server after using LiteSpeed technology. Actually, It balances the load and increases the performance of both Apache and PHP. For More about Litespeed Visit here.

The second most interesting thing about LiteSpeed is, it is sole friendly with WordPress and if you use QUIC free CDN by LiteSpeed your website is going to load faster than the rocket.

The third surprise for you is LiteSpeed Plugin for WordPress. It improves code and image optimization and your caching is going to be super smooth with it. So these are the PROS of Technology used by HostArmada to make their Hosting server more powerful than normal cloud infrastructure.

Server Location Provided by Hostarmada

As a starting company, I am very impressed with HostArmada Server locations. As per my research, and also told by one of their executives (Bogdan Toshev) that they are using Linode Cloud Infrastructure which has a benefit for Indian Users because they are going to get Indian Server.

They have servers in ->

USA West Fremont, CA,

South Canada Toronto, ON

Europe London, UK

USA Central Dallas, TX

USA East Newark, NJ

Europe Frankfurt, DE

Mumbai India, IN

Asia, Singapore, SG

Sydney Australia, AU

You can better recognize geolocation of all servers provided by HostArmada by checking the above image

Hostarmada Server Uptime

So let's talk about one more fact that you should know while choosing any hosting provider i.e. Uptime of Server.

As an experienced blogger and my research on Hostarmada before the review, I can say with confidence that the server configuration and technology used by them is highly flexible and hence you will never notice any effective downtime.

Here is last few month Uptime details provided by Hostarmada itself about their Uptime.

Hostarmada Uptime Review

From the above picture, you can see 100% uptime and Ping of Hostarmada Hosting and this monitoring is done by me personally using freeping.io a free website monitoring tool.

I have personally monitored and tested their hosting form last 8 month. Here is last 8-month Uptime report

December 2019 average uptime: 100%

January 2020 average uptime: 100%

February 2020 average uptime: 100%

March 2020 average uptime: 99.99%

April 2020 average uptime: 99.99%

May 2020 average uptime: 99.98%

June 2020 average uptime: 99.99%

July 2020 average uptime: 99.98%

From this statistic, you can calculate average Uptime of Hostarmada for last 8-months that comes to approx 99.99%.

Hostarmada Speed Test

I have tested Hostarmada hosting with default WordPress installation with twenty-twenty WordPress theme from 30+ different location with 3+ speed test tool including google page insight.

Please note that I have not used any CDN and Optimization or Cache plugin while taking the test, which means its a default WordPress site test.

Speed Test by Google Page Insight

This test is for mobile loading time but the desktop was also the same and you can see it is pretty fast. And you know that speed is one of the main factor for On-Page SEO as it reduces Bounce back and increase conversion.

Payment Methods

Payment methods is one of most Important things while choosing any product. It can be hosting or domain OR Any tools, Because when you decide to buy a hosting and you goto checkout and your payment method is missing there. How will you feel? Ofcourse Irritating.

So let me tell you here that how many and which payment methods are supported by Hostarmada Hosting.

payment method for hostarmada

For this time they accept Visa (USD Enabled) and PayPal (USD enabled). Like other hosting provider they do not offer different site for different country which means local payment methods are not going to work there.

Let's take an example of India, If you are a Indian Customer you should have a International Cross Border Enabled Card to pay on hostarmada Website. In most of case, Indian users do not have such type of cards. So If you are intrested and do not have card just contact me I will help you personally step by Step.

Free Professional Emails ([email protected])

I am a huge fan of hosting providers that give us Free Professional emails with Encrypted SSL because using professional emails you get more trust and conversion among your customer. Hostarmada Provides the same service in their Cpanel Dashboard.

From here you can create professional email and forward them to your gmail to keep a copy of every email received on your pro email.

Daily Backups

Backup for a website is most important thing even from hosting because website crashes are normal and If you have backup you can recover it. Hostarmada have daily backup plugin installed in cPanle, Please note it's not a WordPress plugin. It is integrated with cPanel to store and restore backups.

Free SSL

Every developer and blogger knows, how much is SSL important for your blog when it comes to user trust and security. For the same reason hostarmada provide secure SSL for free with their hosting.

Free Speed optimizaton

Hostarmada offer free website optimization by their team in less than 1 hr. This is really a cool service that everyone will enjoy since no more extra charges for website speed optimization. Generally they use LS cache plugin and optimize it according to your website.
