Greetings everyone! I'm new here and looking for recommendations on affordable hosting. Specifically, I'm planning on starting a travel blog. By the way, do any of you have suggestions on trustworthy auction sites for buying and selling domain names?

If you're starting a travel blog and need hosting, I suggest going with Bluehost's cheapest plan at $2.95/month. This should be sufficient for your needs.

As for finding a domain name to promote your blog, consider checking out auction sites like auctions.godaddy.com, flippa.com/domains, and sedo.com. These resources all have potential options for your blog's domain name.

If you're looking for hosting options, I have two recommendations based on your budget. Siteground is the more affordable option and has a variety of plans suitable for different types of websites and businesses. This could be a good choice if you're hosting your website for the first time.
On the other hand, Liquid Web is an American service that offers high standards of speed, security, and support. Unlike shared hosting options, Liquid Web ensures faster site speed. It's a good choice for businesses or websites that require more complex hosting needs.

I'll give you a little advice based on experience. Don't create a website for a travel blog. Better create a page on a social network and promote it. This gives a greater audience coverage, and it is much easier to promote such a page than a website. If you are interested in advertising tickets, then the site may be more convenient, although integrating advertising on a social network page is not difficult.
