Maintaining My Privacy and Identity

By MoneyBlueBook

My personal finance blog is currently being hosted by Host Monster (Dreamhost). There are many other popular domain registrars and web host providers out there such as Go Daddy and Host Gator, but I chose this one because of their competitively lower monthly charges and decent online reviews. In addition, they also offer anonymous hosting free of charge and unlimited domain name hosting.

Anonymous Hosting

There are some bloggers out there who don't mind having personal information such as their full name and address easily discoverable by a simple "Who Is" search. I personally prefer a little bit of privacy.

For the computer novices, a "Who Is" search is an internet tool that allows one to search from a database of domain name registrations. A "Who Is" query is primarily used to look up the domain name ownership information and the domain name status.

I plan on keeping my full identity to myself but I do intend on sharing more in the future. You'll probably get to know more about me through my writing.

Crack the champagne because this is opening day for my new financial blog - presenting my very first posting. Here's to many months and many years of blogging on one of my most passionate subjects - money, and everything related to it.

Started with Blogger, Ended With Wordpress

I've always enjoyed researching and writing so one day I decided it was time I started blogging. My first step was to set up several free Google Blogger accounts, one for each of my money related topics. Many hours and days passed and I realized this method proved unwieldy and cumbersome. What I needed to do was centralize and condense my blog subjects into one bully pulpit where I could blog about everything related to money. I also needed my own domain name, somewhere to call home. After spending many hours trying to find a suitable domain not already taken (most good ones already are), I finally came up with Money Blue Book.
