stevepole Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I don't know much about web hosting, but I'm in sure of a inexpensive host. Does anyone have any tips on what to look for? Or any recommendations for that matter? What I plan to be hosting is a Movable Type blog which is perl based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obfuscator Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Are you using specific blogging software? Many hosting companies have a pretty basic shared hosting package for $5-$10 per month which would probably be suitable for your needs.

stevepole Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 Movable Type is the software, I should have clarified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obfuscator Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 So from the reqs page, you'd need PHP, Perl CGI, and mysql. Most basic hosting packages should offer those. So for example, here: http://www.godaddy.com/hosting/web-hosting.aspx?ci=9009 you'd need to go with the Deluxe plan over the Economy one because their economy plan doesn't include perl.

stevepole Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 Ok cool, I'll keep that in mind and that GoDaddy plan doesn't look to bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nadril Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I use nearlyfreespeech personally. Really nice if it's going to be a site with a small amount of traffic on it. You pretty much just pay based off of how much bandwidth you use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
