Dreamhost
25% Discount on Website Hosting and a Free Domain Name
These days, every author knows that having a website is of paramount importance: it’s not only a place for your fans to find you, but they can also check out your other books, join your mailing list, and find out when your latest novel is due for release.
A lot of authors choose to go for what is called a Subdomain. Subdomains are generally very cheap, but create less branded domain names; for example, www.authorname.wordpress.com, www.authorname.wix.com or www.authorname.blogspot.com.
While this can seem like an easy way to way to save some money, having sloppy domain names like the examples shown can give the impression that you don’t take your writing seriously. And if the author doesn’t take their writing seriously, why would the reader?
Over 1.5 million websites and blogs are happily hosted at DreamHost, and we use them ourselves at www.paidauthor.com, which is why we have no trouble recommending them.
Even if you’re not super experienced at making a website, the huge number of “One-Click Install” apps that Dreamhost has should make the process as simple as possible.
They even have a 97-day money back guarantee, so if you aren’t 100% satisfied, there’s no risk.
