My friend Garry called me the other day and told me that he paid $200 for a brand new hosting account. Not only I wanted to smash my had against the wall but I also wanted to go to his place and kick his ass.

After moments of anger I calmed down and I realized that he's probably not the only one paying so much for a hosting account. That's how I decided to write this article and help you not trow your money away.

I noticed that many people want to rush on the decision of buying a hosting and domain. I know, I get it. You read some great article about how great is to have a blog and how much money you could make from it so you immediately took your credit card out of the wallet and blindly paid whatever number was on the screen.

Well, I've got some news for you: The web offers a tons of affordable hosting deals, coupons and even 1 cent sign up offers. You just have to look over to Google a little bit to find those sites.

Here, I'll point you some sites where you could look for a hosting deal.

1. Hostgator

Hostgator is not only the most reliable hosting provider out there but also the cheapest one for the quality of services included in the price. On the official hostgator website you can find so much deal starting from 4$ a month to 25%off discounts

2. BlogMakingSchool.com

Blogmakingschool, not only being the best resource for starting a blog but they are also the best for finding hostgator coupon codes. They have a category called "resources" and in it you can find some of the latest hostgator coupon codes available on the web.

They have different types of coupon codes starting from the hostgator 1 cent first month coupon code to other ranging from 25% OFF to 50% OFF depending on the special month discount.

I have one last tip from this article and that I promise I'm gone.

When you will sign up for an account with Hostgator for example, please uncheck all the additional services that only add to your bill. They are useless anyway and they serve almost nothing. This way to get to save some real money and if you already have a domain name you'll pay only seven bucks for the first month of hosting.

And BTW, don't rush it when choosing a domain name. You never know if one day will become the name of your publishing company.

Good luck and happy blogging!
