Hi Hallee,
Your blog site is wonderful. I own a small house cleaning company in Austin TX and am getting prepared to put together a website of my own, need to grow my business. You have millions of tabs and i understand that the more you have, the more expensive the cost for the webmaster. Did you make this site yourself? If so, where can I find it? it seems so you which is what I am all about. Anyhow, i had fun looking around, i can tell you have fun with it and that’s what it’s all about. God bless
JoAnn
Hi JoAnn,
The first thing you should know is that this website/blog/forum is not meant to make money for us in any way. It is not a commercial endeavor. It is intended to be a resource as part of a lifestyle of ministry.
.
That said, we purchased our domain name. There are many, many ISPs who can sell you both webspace and register your domain name so I won’t recommend one over the other. We opted for a LINUX platform (opposed to Windows). Once that was done, we installed WordPress and chose a Theme that we liked. It was nearly that simple. I am in the IT industry, so I tinkered, installed some Plugins, and toyed a bit with our chosen Theme. I have done some personal optimization in addition to that to add extra security to the site to protect it from hackers and so forth. You would perhaps be surprised how many times a day this website is attacked.
.
Anyway, I wish you the very best in your future endeavors and pray that God blesses you and yours.
Gregg
