AdesBlog.com

Regular readers of AdesBlog know Alan Johnson very well by now. He is the regular contributor to this blog and author of some of the best articles in the blogosphere.

BloggingBoost.com is a new project by Alan offering free domain name and hosting for promising bloggers. Obviously this free service is for serious bloggers or “to-be-bloggers” only. The requirement is that you need to be able to write good articles, at least 5 articles per week (without grammar errors).

I think he has done a wise decision by putting a high requirement. Because if you make it free, there will be a lot of free riders who after getting the domain name and hosting won’t even blog a single post on their blog. Remember my free domain name and hosting contest? Well, most of the winners are to this day didn’t work on their blog. I guess that’s the general attitude for “free stuff”.

So if you are serious, and do not have the means to get your own domain name and hosting, then check out www.bloggingboost.com
