What is your budget? 
For a WordPress blog, hosting is a must. Hosting allows you to manage your tables and backup your database. There are many awesome hosting companies that gives us hosting at the price ranging from $4- $10 per month. These provide excellent service but for Indians, they are not easily accessible as they required credit cards to purchase hosting. So, I would recommend Indians to go for Indian hosting companies that allow you to pay through bank transfer or online cash transfer. Normally, you can get a good hosting in Rs. 1000. So choose according to your budget. For more information on Indian hosting, you can contact me.
NOTE- Beware of scam sites. It is a bitter truth but there are many Indian companies that are complete scams. They will give you an offer to buy 50GB of disk space just at the cost of Rs. 200 which no one can afford to give. So, if you are finding it confusing to select the hosting provider and lost among the numerous hosting plans, just contact me through contact page and I can get you a suitable and affordable plan according to your requirements. This will make sure that your hard earned money is not wasted.
Selecting the Domain Name
The domain name is as important as the niche of your blog. Just like the niche, you select the domain only once and it is very important you get it right. Some tips to select a domain name.
- Try to select a short name that is not tiring to type.
- Must reveal the purpose or niche of the blog.
- Should be easy to understand and pronounce.
- It must be evergreen

A wordpress blog owner can sell his/her blog while a blogspot owner is now allowed to sale his/her blog
Both are alost same to me. You will get less comments untill you write really useful. Also, wordpress is not that safe. Hackable. Now hosting is very cheap these days.
so, its not that difficult to start a wordpress blog…. and for security purposes, there are many plugins
I would also highly recommend Tumblr to a platform to use for blogging. This platform increases the use for establishing your personal brand through interests and people knowing what you find important.
i have heard of this first time…will check it for sure
Glad you could check it out! You really have to be creative and map out how you are going to use it.
