Finance Wednesday with @steemph | Free Webhosting For Your SteemPress and WordPress
Happy Hump Day, it’s Wednesday yet again.
I would like to apologize to the readers of the Finance Wednesday if the article today is a bit short.
I am still recovering from a nasty flu virus. Not quite 100% but feeling a lot better now.
Free Web Hosting For SteemPh Members
Before I will make a post about this and put it on the steempress community I would like to get the members of SteemPh informed first just in case they want to get in or try it out.
I have been putting it out on discord about a free web hosting that is freely available for steemph members.
If you want to take advantage of the @steempress-io steempress application or plugin then this is your opportunity.
It will cost you nothing if you want to take on the subdomain. Your website address will be like this https://yourdomain.steemitblog.com
If you want to learn how to create your own website, this is your opportunity. You have plenty of choices to choose from because it is not limited and you have full control.
You can create your own blog website using wordpress or other apps
You can create your own online store again whether using the wordpress + woocommerce combo or other apps
You can create your own social media group like facebook
And many more you can do.
If you want a premium domain like “MyHotSteemitBlog.com”, you might be able to pay it off by instalment paying with your steemit income, say 1SBD per week (with terms and conditions).
Why Am I Doing This?
When people came in to the steemph discord and talking about @steempress-io steempress and inviting others about joining steempress but could not answer some questions especially when pressed, I thought to myself, these guys probably don’t have much idea about wordpress or blogging websites.
Then when I went to steempress’ discord some questions there are regarding very basics. Like do I need wordpress to run steempress? Or Do I need domain or hosting?
So here we are, I am offering this so people can learn.
Benefits of Owning Your Own Website
Let us say you have a decent followers on steemit, bitlander, medium or etc.
If you have your own website, you can direct them there.
Owning your own website makes it look more professional, more personal and adds legitimacy of your own creations / articles / products.
You can monetize your website. This is the main reason or if not the usual reason why people having websites.
If you are popular you get a lot of traffic on your websites and that is where the money is. This is how bitlanders is able to pay you to write for them because when your article is published there is an advertisement on it.
What’s In It For Me? Transparency!
The Truth
At the moment there is nothing in it for me. I already have this web hosting plan which I use for my own websites and others so why not put it to good use.
The Reality
I can only give out limited number of free hosting due to limited resources. It is coming from my own pocket.
The Idea
If the demand is there and somehow it generates a bit of income from advertisements and donations, the service will grow more. This means more free webhosting will be offered.
How will this service generate income?
I am hoping that the members will use the client area every time they want to access their cPanel or for anything. I am also hoping that members will visit the website steemitblog.com for tutorials, news and other blogs. If the members will do that the traffic that they will generate will result in an income from the google advertisements that is in the websites.
I am also hoping that members will share their wealth as donations. If every member that uses the free service will donate 0.5SBD each every year, we have enough to keep us going every year.
What Is Required?
YOU HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO USE GOOGLE SEARCH!
If you don’t know how to use google search to search answers to some of your queries then maybe you are not up to speed with the technology.
Make google search your genius best friend. Every time you have a question ask your best friend google search first.
Don’t be one of those people who go to the steempress discord and ask what is steempress.

What You Need to Know About ONO (and some thoughts)
This good piece of info about ONO is from @iyanpol12
ONO is currently gaining popularity. It is a social media app where you can create and share contents. I am unsure of it can surpass Steemit, but the community created in Steemit is remarkabale. Still, ONO can be another great community to watch for.

Great post!
Thank you very much
Aha free webhosting. That's cool @webcoop. Am planning on having my own blog but it's kinda expensive to buy premium on Wordpress... It gave me a headache just being in a dilemma if I will buy or not. 😂 I mean, my more than a month earning on Bitlanders can pay for it but then what will I eat? 😂 I'm thinking of getting a loan again but I just paid everything off last month. Oh well. I will decide soon enough.
Now I am in another dilemma if I should take that steemitblog offer of yours. 😅 What will happen though after a year or two?

Hi @artgirl sorry I just saw this.
If you buy a premium web hosting, the cheapest I think is about $2.45 / month + $11 / year for domain name.
The free webhosting I offer is almost premium except for the subdomain which is free for example https://artgirl.steemitblog.com.
You have to weight the risk of getting in the free web hosting.
If I die suddenly (wag naman sana) the service might get cut off because I am not there to pay it off.
Because it relies on communities participation it might ran out of funding and will be cancelled.
However, I will not just cut off the service without giving enough notice or time for the websites to migrate to other hosting providers. (Except on the scenario where I die hehe)
Back up is the key, if you back up your website often you can always revive it somewhere else.
All web hosting have that risk because all web hosting are not responsible for your files.
These free webhosting is great if you are just practicing with wordpress and cpanel at mga iba pang etse boretse. You can take your time practicing and because it is free you are not losing any money.
When you know that you are ready to have your own domain and website then you can decide to spend money on premium web hosting and premium domain name.
I can't promise but I will try my best to help. Plus I will be putting out step by step guides for the webhosting and wordpress.
It's ok. Thanks for the info. Grabe naman un "if mmtay"... D muna aksidente sir? Haha wag naman sana nga.
Sige will just make a new free WP blog maybe. But of course it will not have Steempress... That's the thing. 😅

Grabe naman aksidente muna.... Subra naman mag suffer pa bago mamatay haha, just kidding
It is ok kapag walang steempress ang gawin mong blog o website... My other reason din kung bakit ako nag o offer nang free webhosting kasi to give others experience kung papano maggawa nang website .... Give others the complete control for free para at least meron experience at because it is free, walang iisipin pa na sayang kumbaga.
Anyway, the free service is there as an option to others...
Thanks kabayan @steemph @webcoop for featuring my article.
Wala pong anuman sir @afterglow and thanks for stopping by also.
