A friend is wanting to put up a website/blog. I suggested free hosting but she wants under. -$10/month with up to ten domains with minimal traffic, up to five free email addresses per domain, reasonable unlimited bandwidth (meaning unlimited within reason, not ten terabytes), free SSL, up to five FTP accounts, automatic backups daily (if needed), reasonable storage, friendly support and monthly billing. For a control panel I suggested cPanel but she said 'point and click newbie style' is better. She saw my cPanel and said it was straightforward but wants to see others.

Her idea is product—for-sale sites disguised as blogs. WordPress backend and posts describing and reviewing products with a 'buy' link at the end. She's heavily into organic clothes and stuff so I talked to her about this and had her research it. Her guy got her a list of wholesalers to buy from and she's got money to invest in some stock. She's trying to convince me to buy a yak fur coat for winter! I'd rather have my organic leather;)

She will upgrade hosting after a year or so when the traffic increases. I recommended a few hosts to look at, to avoid and to think about. Then I offered to post here. She's coming back next Tuesday so we'll go over offers and posts then and decide.

Post, PM and affiliate links are fine.

Oh she read about traffic spikes and doesn't want a box with big clients. I explained how it works, about packet kiddies and to notify support if a problem exists. Then I gave a brief explanation of running traceroutes. Sadly, I've done them before illness and used dos. She's learning Windows' traceroute sites as I couldn't remember how to get a dos window, the cmd or the keyboard keys up top for shortcuts.

Yeah, kids,before Windows we had to type everything. No point or click, no mouse, and the C keys up top were invaluable. DOS was the OS and black background with green block letters were the norm. Dot matrix printers, too
