Hi,
You can always use free blogging host or forum. But free hosts come with a price. Search engines take self hosted sites more seriously. besides, more importantly, visitors take your site more seriously if they see that you are not on any free host.

take a test yourself. Which one will you like more as a visitor?

xoogle.com
or
xoogle.bloxspot.com

so, i recommend, you go with paid host and domain to host your forum/blog.

forum softwares can also be found free or paid. Paid is vBulletin which is great (but costs alot) and a free forum software is SMF (great considering it costs nothing and superbly flexible). You can use many “mods” to make your main site (homepage) display info like a blog. You can use portals in forums to do that.

SMF site example: http://bangladeshtalks.com/index.php
vBulletin site example: http://www.cricket-highlights.com/

so my recommendation is:

1. use a paid host to host your own doamin. godaddy.com is what i use; ($56.88/yr, 10GB space, 300GB Transfer)

2. Use SMF 2RC2.0 as your forum software which is free to use.

3. Use a portal in your forum if you want its home page to be blog like.

4. or if you decide to host a blog use wordpress blogging software. it is great.

i hope this helps you.

Wordpress is great for blogging and also for many other features. You can also install wordpress plugins for forums, newsletter, member login and other functions.

Hi,
I would recommend “Web Hosting Pad” for your Web Hosting because it’s cheap and very reliable.With web hosting, you’ll get free domain. Their support service is awesome. This company offers site building tools, application vault, web mail, antivirus, Php, MysQL ,e-commerce and hosts unlimited websites in one plan. Don’t go for free web hosting.They are not reliable.

Comment on I work with a firm that offers services to small businesses, how do I approach them? by richard_g95

Hey Don;
For any business, to approach the manager or the owner is a bit tricky. The best way that I did is I had some friends who are business owners network my business for me, I had several phone calls from prospective business owners call me up to set up an appointment with them to show them my offer. Mostly I help businesses with their internet service using either T1 (DSL) or Broadband depending on what kind of business service they need and the connecton speed. So if you have any friends in the business community see if they will network for you, the other way is go to your local Chamber of Commerce and see if you can go to some of their functions, like parties or dinners, mingle around with a supply of business cards and talk to other business owners (do not forget to ask for their business card) in a couple of days call them up, do some idle chit chat about the function then bring up the subject about what you can do for their business and try to arrainge an appoint to see them to explain in more detail what you can offer their business. It takes time but the end result once you get use to it you should be able to close more contracts then you will at the beginning. Make yourself known.
