Resources for Travel Bloggers

• Buy your own domain for your blog. My recommendation is Namecheap: it’s less than 8 euros per year.
• Buy a hosting, it’s simply to purchase where your blog will be “hosted”. I use Hostgator. Bloggers from all over the world recommended it and certainly, in my opinion, it’s one of the best hosting sites in the market, both for its customer service with online chat and its quality / price.

Using a good hosting site like Hostgator, won’t let your blog continually blocked. You can also purchase it by clicking on the image below. The price is cheaper if you pay in advance. Try and pay for your yearly Hostgator fee up front. It will save you money!

• As for themes for your blog, you can get one free at WordPress page or premium, paying a fixed amount, to get a more unique template.

I like to have a personalized blog and not having the risk of duplicate designs on the Internet, so I chose a premium theme. Specifically, I recommend three pages:

• Theme Forest, This is the current framework I’m using with Mindful Travel and I personally love it! You can choose from hundreds of themes to design your blog and also see reviews from other users who have bought it before; how many times it has been downloaded and You can contact the designer of the theme through the site to solve any problem If you want to buy it, click on the image below!

• The Genesis Framework,This is one of the best frameworks in the market; it’s fast uploading and ideal for SEO, and it has lots of plugins and widgets to custom your blog’s design. It also has a very good support service. You can also purchase it by clicking on the image below.

• Elegant Themes, This is another excellent provider for the design of your blog. As the name suggests, it has  very neat and clean designs. Take a look and see what you think.

More Useful Resources
