Give advice on migrating your blog

Question

PHP

I want to transfer my blog from a blogpost to a separate hosting.
I found a cheap hosting for a start - a com domain name in the zone will cost $ 16 per year, hosting with 100 MB of disk space is $ 1 per month. Yeah, I'm a rogue student.
Don't think it's advertising, here are the specifications of the hosting.
Now what I want to know:
1. Will 100 MB of space be too small if I use WordPress?
2. I plan to do everything on a virtual machine first (install Linux, practice in php), and then register hosting and transfer it there. Is it worth it to do so?
3. Is it bad that this hosting only supports php as CGI?

Answer 1

What are you planning to write about?
I can provide hosting for free. And you can register a com domain for less than 16 bucks.

Answer 2

1. WP takes 10 metro from the strength, the rest if you only upload pictures, you need to try hard to write text at 90 meters
2. Don’t suffer, install Denwer, understand PHP to install WP is a waste of time
3. This will become a problem if you big visits will begin, for the first time I think that's enough, the visits will begin to be rescheduled.

Answer 3

1) I don't know, to be honest. You will find out after paragraph
2 2) it is worth it and even necessary.
3) no difference

Answer 4

If the goal is self-learning, then take a free vps , then figure out how to manage it, set up your web server, optimize it, put Drupal there (well, so that life does not seem like a raspberry), enjoy life for free. For self-education - the most it.
(only there you can wait for the activation of a free server for a very long time, but this is solved by a terrible amount of four dollars)

Answer 5

Minimum effort and maximum benefit - IMHO, denwer + netfox.ru (or something similar).

Answer 6

In my experience, cheap hosting is no different from free hosting - except that free hosting may simply stop working one day, but cheap hosting may simply lose data - so both have to be backed up regularly with an eye to full recovery. Differences appear somewhere after $ 5 / month.
I advise you to register a name separately - hosting is easy to change if you do not need to transfer the domain, and cheap hosting will most likely have to be changed. A domain name for a year can be registered for around $ 1 at a discount - you just need to go through the registrars and look for current discounts.

Answer 7

I keep a failure blog on selectel, with its attendance (1-2 per day :) ), the price is miserable - 50 r / month.
