Due the fact that there are very many blog web hosting service providers in the market today, a blogger is usually confronted with the problem of identifying the best. This therefore calls for an informed decision making process to ensure that a blogger has chosen the best hosting service as well as hosting service provider for their blog. There are several factors that a blog owner or author should consider in the process of choosing the best hosting service provider and plan for their blog.

Among the most important is the content that the blog will address. Different service providers have different segments of audience that they target. There are those contents that suit a particular group of people while there are those that will require general audience. In this way, the type of content that is addressed by the blog will determine the service provider most suitable for the blog. For example, some service providers will only accept blog contents that are specialized on particular subject such as on technical subjects. Others specialize on blogs that address a very particular problem such as the "How to" segments of a problem. In this way, the author will be directed to the best hosting site that deals with the particular subject that is comfortable with them. This is without mentioning that there are some hosting sites that only accept a particular quality of the articles submitted and will have the right to reject or accept the contents. Still in this content issue, all the blog web hosting sites will not accept contents that are copied from other people as well as those that are copyrighted and not well referenced. Adult contents and obscene languages are mostly rejected and accounts deleted.

When choosing a blog web hosting service provider, it is also important to have it clear in your mind whether you will need a free or paid hosting service. Some sites only offer free hosting services and therefore place advertisements on your blog page. Others only offer paid hosting services and therefore you would require some finances to host your blog. There are yet others that offer a combination of the two and therefore an increased choice. This is dependent on the type of the people that you want to reach. A personal blog to be visited by friends and relatives need not be hosted on a paid hosting plan. A blog that is aimed at generating some side revenue may do well with a paid hosting plan.
