A dedicated blog is a whole blog that belongs to you. It has its own address, your topic and your name on it. We build it, design it, write for it and keep it running.
Price: $94 for the first year, including three launch articles. See What does the $94 first year cover?
Dedicated blog vs. network articles
There are two honest ways to publish, and both work. They just build different things.
| Network articles | Dedicated blog | |
|---|---|---|
| Where articles live | Across 80+ topical blogs we run, each on its own domain | One blog that belongs to you |
| What it builds | Links from other sites to yours | An asset of your own |
| Branding | The network blog's | Your branding, your categories, optionally your own domain |
| Between orders | Each article stands on its own | The blog keeps existing and every article adds to the same place |
| Setup on your side | None | None. We build it, host it and keep it alive |
Plenty of customers do both: network articles for reach, and a dedicated blog as the home base they all point to.
Fully managed
- Built and configured. Design, structure and categories are set up before launch. The first version you see is the finished one.
- Hosted for the year, with no separate hosting bill.
- HTTPS from day one, with a certificate installed and security hardened.
- Backed up automatically.
- Watched, not just running. Uptime monitoring with a person behind it, so if something breaks at 3am, we get paged, not you.
- A sitemap that looks after itself. Every new article is added and submitted to search engines when it publishes.
You never log in to the blog. There's no dashboard to learn and no updates to click.
Where it lives
On a subdomain we provide, or on your own address such as blog.yourbrand.com. You can move it at any time. See How to connect your own domain.
Do I need to buy hosting or a domain first?
No. A year of hosting is included in the price. If you want your own address, any subdomain of a domain you already own works.
