Wanna Host Your Own Blog?

Almost one year ago, I take a risky experiment. I tried to self-hosted my own WordPress blog and bought myself a domain name. As you can see right now, I used second level domain provided by my own country, that is web.id. With this domain, I played around with setting own blog into one of free hosting provider. Ever since that time, some of my friends asking me about this hosting and domain. How to get the domain, how to buy a hosting, and all of other questions. And this article was dedicated to them and to you who wanna host your own blog.

This article is about some considerations we need to take before deciding what kind of hosting and domain do you need.

This article is NOT about detailed instructions in configuring and setting blog on our own hosting and domain. I wrote about these at another site in Bahasa Indonesia. You can read about that there (send me a comment if you want me to translate it into English).

So, you wanna host your own blog?

Access

I dunno why, the last two days, I couldn’t log in to this blog from my ISP. But when I tried it from campus’s networks, it worked. So I finally can continue making up this site. When I got home and tried it again, I still coudn’t log in. But in the next day, it means this day, finally I get access to this site. So then I post and making up every little detail.

Why did it happen? Was it my ISP mistakes? Or the DNS settings in the ISP? Because It also happened to my GMail account. So I involuntarily used Outlook to fetch my new mail message. But still, the sensation is different. Why did it happen? Anybody knows?
