I'm planning to start a few personal blogs and was wondering if it's worth to go for a basic shared account or for a specialized blog plan from Shared Web Hosting provider - Multi Domain Hosting - PHP Web Hosting - Web Site Hosting - Web Hosting Service - Multiple Domain Hosting - Reseller Hosting - Blog Hosting - Downtown Host LLC
At the moment I have only a few blogs to host, but later I may come into other sites as well.

What kind of software do you use for blogging?
For example, ServerPoint.com offers WordPress hosting plus free Wordpress themes. This company is optimized for different web applications and think they'll be helpful for you.
SiberName.com offers Blog Manager Module(in their shared package plans) that includes many features that are necessary while blog running.

I don't think there's any point going for Blog hosting account unless you are going to have 999 blogs, if not a basic hosting plan with a multiple domain name feature would be more than enough, say you can have this and much more in Webhostgiant.com linux deluxe plans.
Deluxe Low Cost Web Hosting - Linux

I think this company is offering the best price/quality ratio, another hosts of the same price range and quality arew Virtual Private Server (VPS) Hosting, Dedicated Server, Web Hosting and Multiple Domain Hosting, Reseller Hosting, cPanel & Linux WebHosting Services by CirtexHosting.

By the way, wordpress.org has lists of recommended hosts as well.

I think that WordPress and Blogger are open source applicationthat can be installed on a basic hosting plan, the main features to consider a package should be disk space/bandwidth requitrements, Cpanel and Fantastico that will make your life easier and the general level of support services.

I think that a hosting provider like Webhostgiant.com or Simplehelix.com might be an ideal solution for a blog hosting site as they have been for quite a time in the industry and known for the quality support, the uptime guarantee figures they give in their TOS are high enough to give your site perfect accessibility.

Webhostgiant.com shared hosting is designed for blogs and forums. They ahve all neccessary to host a blog. The time limited offer enables you to get hosting from the for lees than three dollars. I suppose this is worth of attention!

I also agree that there is not need to look for specialized blog hosting as majority of host companies provide enough opportunities for this in usual plans.

Good luck!

I think that any shared deal will do for a blog hosting package if it's stable and wordpress can be installed on it,
but what makes downtownhost.com offer different from all the other offers is that the server is optimized for blogs giving them the best possible performanceб better that a blog hosted among forums and photo galleries can have.

If you need quality blog hosting A2hosting.com provide it. They offer an up-to-date version of WordPress as an easy install through Fantastico. If you need to install the latest nightly build or any other version, our web hosting packages are custom installation ready featuring PHP5 and MySQL5.

You may take into consideration Serverpoint.com, because there are thousands of web hosting companies out there, but only a few dozen are true hosting companies like them. The thing is that they guarantee a 99.99% network uptime. Also you may count on their PHP and MySQL experience when hosting your application.
