By

HostGator Black Friday Discount Coupon For bloggers

The time for people who can not afford high expensive webhosting costs has just arrived after 365 days! HostGator Black Friday / Cyber Monday Sales have officially started now with Flash sales as high as 80%. It is once in a year opportunity for bloggers to get huge discount deals on premium services. Being a consistent customer of HostGator services for the past 6 years, we receive exclusive discounts each year to share with our loyal readers so that they may get a considerable discount on all webhosting packages that they purchase. These sales will start from 27th Nov and will last till 30th Nov, 2015. This year we have received two types of special discount coupons from HostGator. One set of coupons offer a 65% Straight OFF whilst other set of Coupons are based on Flash Sales that will last only for ONE HOUR at different time interval. These flash sales are a straight 80% Discount! Domains will cost as less as $2.99 for .net and .com TLDs.

UPDATE: The Sale ended but you can still get a straight 25%-30% discount using the coupon "mbtblogdiscount"

The count down timer below will last till the end of the Black Friday Sale. You only have limited time to make up your mind and start your online business dreams today.

Never Purchase Something unless you are convinced!

Before you make a purchase please read the article by clicking the link below to fully understand the importance of webhosting for your professional blogging and webmaster career online. This opportunity comes only once a year and only serious bloggers make productive use of it.

You can also read the following articles to better understand why we consider hostgator as the best choice of webmasters and why have we hosted all our 7 sites on hostgator:

Which Plan to Purchase for Better Discount and SEO?

I strongly recommend that you read the following article for in-depth analysis:

Just remember these points while choosing a plan:

  • Choose Hatching Plan for 3 Years if you want to register just a single Domain
  • Choose Baby Plan for 3 years if you wish to register multiple domains in future
  • Business Plan is definitely not for you but for corporates!

We are using baby plan currently. Google often considers sites which are registered for few months or ONE year as spammy therefore in order to make sure you have an SEO edge and your site is considered as E-A-T (Expert, Authoritative, Trustworthy), do register for no less than 3 years. This will give you a better discount as well as favor in SEO rankings later.

How To Apply Coupons Correctly?

Follow these steps to make sure you get maximum saving on the package you purchase:

1 Go To Hostgator Welcome Page

2 Click the Get started Now! button followed by Choose A Plan button on next page.

3 Choose your Plan and hit the button (Up to 30% OFF) under it!

4 You will see two options:

  • If you are registering a new domain then choose the first option. You will buy both Domain + Hosting.
  • If you already own a domain then choose the second option. You will buy only Hosting here.

 register a domain

5 Next choose your Plan and fill the forms. Make sure you select the 36 months cycle which means 3 years:

choose a hosting plan

6 Enter your Billing Info. You can pay both with a credit card or paypal. I did with Paypal.

7 In the "Additional Services" section uncheck all options because none is that useful.

8 Finally Comes the discount coupon section. Copy the Coupon codes that we have shared below and paste it inside this box and click validate.

9 In the Review Order Details section, confirm that the discount is applied. If you see a discount field then congratulations you have done all steps correctly!

Blogger: 10 Popular Questions on Web Hosting

By

Webhosting for Blogger BlogsIt is time to make up a decision! With over trillion of web pages published each day, competition is at its peak and if you have not yet made the decision to kick-start your online business in a professional way then you are missing a great deal of marketing edge. We receive tons of questions daily on webhosting through our forum, Emails and blog comments. To make sure we reply each question in detail, we have crafted this post with the only hope to clarify all your doubts concerning hosting your blogger blogs.  This post shares some of the very honest reasons that has helped us tremendously in becoming the Brand that we are today Alhamdulillah and this could have been never possible without making a wise decision of selecting the best web hosting company for our network blogs and websites.

Update:

We just published Exclusive HostGator Black Friday 80% discount Coupons. Sale ends in 3 Days. It is once in a year opportunity. Grab your hosting now!

1. Difference b/w Domain Hosting & Web Hosting?

Domain hosting means that you are simply purchasing a custom URL with TLD extensions like  .com .net or .org etc. which will mask  .blogspot.com. It costs around $10-$12 a year to buy a domain from blogger itself. With this option you only get a free email ID such as admin@yourblog.com. You can not upload files in your hosting nor can you create sub-domains. You are limited to Blogger Dashboard only.

Web hosting in layman terms is simply buying a storage space for your website online, just like a folder online. Your files will be stored in secured hard disks owned by the web hosting company. Like all our files of services page, tools and Forum are stored with our web host. When you buy webhosting you also get a free domain with it. You can choose to use your existing domain or buy a new one. You can upload JavaScript/CSS, PDF files, Videos, Audios, almost anything on your web host and each file will get your branded URL. For example we have stored our ebook " Pro blogger Secrets Revealed" on the subdomain "Downloads":

http://downloads.mybloggertricks.com/ProBlogger Secrets Revealed.pdf

2. What Can I Create with Web Hosting?

Webhosting gives you wings!

You can create almost anything using the software found in your webhost control Panel (Cpanel). We are using HostGator which gives us the power to create the following list of cool tools or websites.

  1. Blog Software  eg: Wordpress, LifeType
  2. Forum Software
  3. Gallery Software
  4. Website Builder - Free 5000 Fancy Templates!
  5. Guestbook Software
  6. Website Builder
  7. Mail Software  eg: admin@mybloggertricks.com
  8. Social Networking Software   eg: Facebook, mySpace
  9. Wiki Software
  10. Survey Software
  11. Billing Software
  12. Chat Software
  13. Directory Software
  14. eCommerce Software

3. Why Buy a Custom Domain?

Without it you are an unknown identity, without a brand name!

Because buying a custom domain means your first step towards serious online business! No sponsor or Ad network like buysellads will ever advertise on a free blog containing a free domain (.blogspot.com). Sponsors always look for professional bloggers who could give better promotion to their products. AdSense also gives more preference to sites with Custom domains. This gives you a big marketing edge.

Second free domains have less reputation in blogosphere, as a result people will rarely subscribe to your blog nor will choose to link your content or share your content in social media, as a result you loose several precious backlinks to rank you higher in SERPs. Thus you will suffer a lot when it comes to better blog marketing and blog SEO.

4. Can you Host a Blogger blog on a Private Web Server?

You can not host or transfer Blogger's Content Management System (CMS) anywhere else i.e the dashboard that helps you control your blog settings and publish posts. But you can surely host your Blogger Blog's Domain name and subdomains at Hostgator. You can surely upload files to your account and share it on your blog.

In our case we manage our blog from "www.blogger.com" but we manage all its subdomains and files (i.e. Our Forum, Contact page, Service Page) at "portal.hostgator.com/login"

5. Can you Transfer a Blogger blog To a Web host?

You can not host Blogger CMS system anywhere but you can surely host it's content (i.e. Posts & comments) on a web host if you choose to download all its files from

Once you have download your blog, you can then transfer it to a new Blogging platform like Wordpress using your Web host. But first read this

Transferring or migrating your blog equals shifting your house from one place to another.

6. Do You really need Web hosting for a blogger Blog?

Every Serious Webmaster needs it!

90% Blogger users purchase only custom domain instead of web hosting because they think that web hosting is a lot expensive and they can't afford it. They also live in a misconception that why buy hosting when Blogger provides it for free i.e. You can upload images, videos for free on Picasa web album.

Its true that blogger blogs are hosted for free but with just custom domain hosting you are sacrificing a great investment. This is what you can not do with domain hosting:

  1. You can not create sub domains
  2. You can not create multiple email accounts
  3. You can not create web pages
  4. You can not create a Forum
  5. You can not store or upload files and brand them with your custom URL.
  6. You can not learn and experience new tools and technologies
  7. You will always run after free storage services, thus making your blog's load time damn slow.

7. How much will web hosting cost you per month?

Less than McDonalds Big Mac!

It costs you less than $7/month or just $80/year! Imagine you waste more than $100-$200 per month on your stomach and accessories, a small budget can build your entire future career. I have shared some discount Coupon codes that you can use to get up to 25% discount on your hosting plan.

Within next few hours I will share 80% Discount coupons for Black Friday deals which is the best time to purchase webhosting with almost no investment at all.

Update: We just published the 80% Black Friday Discount Coupons! Grab it now!

Those with serious will to start their blogging careers will make use of this Black Friday and those who still think they don't need webhosting, they are missing a better online future and SEO boost.

8. Which is the best Web Hosting company?

Only experience can tell. You can only tell whether an Apple tastes good or not unless you had taken a bite. After having taken several bites for over 6 years, we can strongly recommend HostGator without doubts as the best choice of bloggers across all CMS platforms. Whether you are a Blogger or Wordpress user, HostGator is the name that hosts all celeb blogs, small or big. It has thus become the webhosting tycoon online after having hosted over 9,000,000 domains!

We hosted MyBloggerTricks with HostGator on 10th August, 2009 using the Hatchling Plan. Since then we never stopped launching new sites each year. We have a total of 7 sites hosted at hostGator at this moment. It is the mother that takes care of our sites and protects our data from infiltrators.

9. Will Webhosting effect your Blog Traffic and SEO?

Web hosting will give a professional touch to your blog. It gives you a brand name and look. People will be more willing to share your content on social media and link back to your pages. Your reputation would increase threefold in blogosphere. The more backlinks you receive the better your Search engine ranking.

Google considers free domains mostly as spam and so do Sponsors. After purchasing a custom domain with a storage space, your blog will be trusted more as E-A-T (Expert, Authoritative and Trustworthy) . Your chances of getting accepted by AdSense and buysellads will increase tremendously as long as you continue producing High Quality content.  It is simply a Win-Win decision.

10. How do you upload files inside a Web Host?

Files are uploaded on your web hosting drive using a FTP client. I recommend Filezilla. Using it is extremely simple and you can find several tutorials on it online. It is a simple drag and drop tool. Transferring files from your computer to your web hosting was never that simple before. All it needs is a username and password after which your computer gets a direct access to your online files on your webhost directory. 

Have Questions?

As long as you ask questions, you will never find yourself in confusion. Each year I emphasize greatly on our readers to make up a better decision and start taking their online careers seriously. Some understand the logic behind these posts and react immediately. We have always found such readers living a happy career online with lucrative income. Those who try to compete online with free tools and services are often those who end up there online careers the earliest.

My best wishes are with all of you and I wish the coming Black Friday Deals starting from this (Friday to Monday) may help you in reshaping your online endeavors. Peace and blessings buddies. =)

HostGator Best Hosting Plans For Bloggers

By
Hostgator is surely the biggest giant today with excellent 24/7 customer service and largest collection of sites hosted. This review discusses reasons for which Hostgator has become the first choice for pro bloggers and internet marketers.
Note: This post has been updated with new changes made in 2015
No matter whatever blogging platform or content management system (CMS) you may be using, the topic today will discuss reliable and affordable web hosting plans that you can purchase to kick start your blogging career. Advertisers and direct sponsors have started giving more value to blogs which are self hosted and produce quality content. Here we will discuss how to transfer your current domain to HostGator and at the same time buy a reliable hosting plan. We will also answer some frequently asked questions to keep things clean and clear.

Why HostGator?

For this I have written a detailed article that you can read here:

I wont tell you any technical details here like unlimited bandwidth, Disk space, sub domains etc. I would only highlight their excellent customer service. You always need active real support from your web hosting company so that in times of technical need you may not feel helpless. Whether you are a customer or just a passing visitor the agents there are always available to give free help and suggestion.

Web Hosting companies are examined and tested by Online testing organizations and critics every year. HostGator has amazingly moved ahead of everyone in the world of web hosting for speed, reliability and support for over 9 consecutive years. You can Read the long list of awards they have achieved so far at their homepage.

I must tell you that these awards matter a lot because they are reviews collected after detailed research and they are not paid reviews. Therefore their authenticity is always respected and can't be ignored.

I researched for almost a week before choosing our web hosting company. Almost every professional blogger, designer and developer that I came across used HostGator as his web host. I read their reviews and read several forums before making my mind to choose HostGator to provide us with a storage space where we could save our resources and tools. Its one month now since I first joined HostGator and the experience so far has been outstanding. I am learning and experiencing new technologies and can easily apply them to the blog because all latest web technologies and development tools are fully supported by HostGator Control Panel.

They also provide free SEO software to monitor and track performance of your blog along with free $100 Adword and $100 Yahoo Ads campaign if you live in USA.

What can I create after buying a hosting plan?

You can create almost anything using the softwares found in HostGator control Panel (Cpanel)

  1. Blog Software  eg: Wordpress, LifeType
  2. Forum Software
  3. Gallery Software
  4. Guestbook Software
  5. Website Builder
  6. Mail Software  eg: xyz@mybloggertricks.com
  7. Social Networking Software   eg: Facebook, mySpace
  8. Wiki Software
  9. Survey Software
  10. Billing Software
  11. Chat Software
  12. Directory Software
  13. eCommerce Software

I am using Free Blogger, How would it effect me?

You can continue using blogger the same way you did before. You will write and access your posts from blogger.com dashboard as you normally do. Everything would remain the same except that now you don't need to save your style sheets, scripts and web pages on third party servers. You will have your own allocated disk space at HostGator which you can use to create unlimited numbers of sub domains like a Blogging Forum, tool or services Page. Your blog would load much faster than before and would grow more popular amongst the readers and daily visitors.

You can create a separate webpage for any purpose you may like. For example: You can create a uniquely designed webpage for each of your Ebook promotion or any other product promotion. You can do everything that pro bloggers have been doing so far.

I am using Free Wordpress, How would it effect me?

You can easily transfer your posts to your self hosted Wordpress blog with the help of agents. HostGator guys provide great support for Wordpress and the community is always more  helpful in your case. You will have all the privileges that I explained for a blogger user.

Note: Incase you needed premier help in redirecting your Free Wordpress to Paid Wordpress without losing traffic and ranking then you may please contact us via our Services Page

Will Domain Migration Effect my Ranking or Traffic?

Surely not! You can migrate your domain from your current registrar to HostGator within a week and during this time your website would work just normal. It wont stop working or show a no server found error. The transfer never effects your traffic or ranking. Since you are not changing your domain address and just the company who owned your domain therefore all your backlinks will still point to you and you can continue enjoying the PageRank Juice.

However if you are using Blogger.com then your website will go down for just 24 hours till your DNS settings are propagated successfully. We had informed our readers when MBT was about to Go down for a day. Luckily things proved more easy then we expected thanks to the sincere help of HostGator Agents.

How much will it cost me?

It will cost you less than $100 per year! Imagine you waste more than $100-$200 per month on your stomach and accessories, a small budget can build your entire future career. I have share below discount Coupon codes that you can use to get up to 25% discount on your hosting plan.

 

Ready To Become a Webmaster?

 

If you have made up your mind just like me and wish to start experiencing the lifestyle of a webmaster for less than $100 per year then the details below is what you must understand and apply the sooner possible:

HostGator Hosting Plans

There are three business plans that HostGator offers which are:

1. Hatchling Pan

  • Single Domain
  • UNLIMITED Disk Space
  • UNLIMITED Bandwidth
  • Shared SSL Certificate
  • Starting at $6.71/month   Which means $107 per year   This will decrease further after applying our 25% discount coupon

2. Baby Plan   (The plan that we use)

  • UNLIMITED Domains
  • UNLIMITED Disk Space
  • UNLIMITED Bandwidth
  • Shared SSL Certificate
  • Starting at $8.96/month  which means $143 per year. Would further decrease with Discount coupon

3. Business Plan  (Obviously Not for bloggers)

  • UNLIMITED Domains
  • UNLIMITED Disk Space
  • UNLIMITED Bandwidth
  • FREE Private SSL & IP
  • FREE Toll Free Number
  • Starting at $12.71/month  which means $203 per year. Would further decrease with Discount coupon

I used Hatchling plan for running this blog and I will highly recommend it if you are planning to run just one domain on a single HostGator account. If you have more than one blogs/domains than Baby plan is a much profitable hosting plan for you. We are planning to launch a new blog so we will be upgrading to baby plan because we can run two blog networks on a single account for less than $76 per year which is just amazing. This amount will further decrease thanks to discount coupons.

Update: We are using baby plan now!

Conclusion:

Use Hatchling if you want to run just one Domain

Use Baby if you are planning to open more domains in future.

For How Many Years Should You Register?

Register your domain for no less than 3 years. If your register for Less than three years suppose 1 year or 2 years, then it would cost you more because higher discounts are given only when you register for a minimum of three years. We registered our blog for 3 years and I advise the same for you. Higher Discount Coupon codes do not apply for less than three years.

Once your registration expires after three years, you can then easily renew it. They wont terrify you with deadlines.

25% Discount Coupon Codes

If you register now using the coupon code below during the sign up process you will get 25% discount on any hosting plan you choose. You can enjoy free first 7 months with the following discount codes:

discount with coupon

How To Transfer Your Current Domain To HostGator?

Domain transfer is amazingly free. HostGator did not charged us for Domain transfer unlike other web hosting companies that charge around $28 for a domain transfer. You may confidently proceed for Hatchling or baby plan. During the process if you needed any help you can always contact us or post your relevant queries in the comment box below.

Wish you a happy blogging career. Peace and blessings pals. :)
