I need some help with my blog and I figured I’d turn to my fellow bloggers and readers to get some advice.
I really want to buy-out my domain name but I’m not sure the best way to go about it. I know that WordPress has an option (seems reasonably priced) but I’ve also heard of other bloggers using sites like godaddy or bluehost. What do you guys think?
Ultimately this is what I want/need in my blog:
- Have my own domain name
- Advertise (not an immediate priority but eventually)
- Relatively easy to use, I’m not an html genius
- Customizable
I would love to hear some feedback and personal stories/suggestions. I feel completely lost about what to do!
Here are some of my eats from today-
Lunch
Salad with arugula, tomatoes, mushroom, cashews, almonds, and nutritional yeast
Vanilla chobani with half of a crumbled blueberry scone
Dinner
Serving of Trader Joe’s Mushroom Fettucine
And some ricotta cheese, pumpkin butter, pumpkin granola, and reeses pieces
I really needed some chocolate tonight 
Have a great night!
I think that would be really neat if you had your own domain!! more personable plus you can possibly generate some income
That’s always nice… I have no idea how to go about it… I have seen the option WordPress has available and I am sure it is a great service seeing how well run their free Blog option is… You could also do a search on Google for sites offering domains and hosting… Possibly get a good deal. Cannot wait to follow your blog to your new domain 
Cheers
Thanks for your support!

I got my own domain a few months ago. I use blogger just because I’d been using it for so long and I couldn’t figure out wordpress.
Makes sense, I ended up buying my domain name through wordpress.com. Self-hosting just seemed waay too complicated. I’d definitely need to hire someone computer saavy to do it for me!
