Why don't you try a Hosting

davecoventry — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 10:29:25 +0000

Why don't you try a Hosting company like hostmonster.com?

There are probably others which may be cheaper/better, but that's who I'm with and thus far no complaints. I chose it basically because they offer a Postgres Database as well as the more or less standard MySql. You just fork out your 70 bucks US (for the year: it's just under $7 per month), for which they throw in a dotcom domain name.

You might prefer to go with a British Company; I used uklinux.co.uk for years and they were very good, but just couldn't compete on price.

Hostmonster offer supposedly unlimited domain hosting so you can register many dot co-uk domains (or, indeed dot com) on the same account and they offer quite a comprehensive web software portfolio including blog software like Wordpress which will do what you want and CMSs like Joomla and Drupal. Also shopping cart software, chat and forum software.

If you don't mind me benefiting from this advice, please use the link in my signature if you decide to sign up with them. Thanks!

(Megan, I hope this is okay? I was just going to say that my own hosting company were satisfactory and would probably be quite a good solution for the OP, but I thought, "Hey, maybe I can benefit!" If it's not okay, please let me know.)

Use Drupal CMS, it has

Use Drupal CMS, it has built-in option to hande multi-user blogs. Just install it, turn on Blog module, check permissions and viola: users can register on your site and write their own blog messages. And user's can view their blogs by path like this: http://example.com/blog/1, where 1 is user ID. You can use Path and Pathauto modules also, so you can make your paths more user friendly, like this: http://example.com/blog/username. Drupal is very handy for things like this. And "by drupal side" multi-user blogs is very common thing.

p.s. If you have troubles with installing and using Drupal, I can help you next week. And you need to good hosting, if you have not.

Basically I want something no doubt google spent millions on, I want a basic, small version of blogspot.

If I have to I might take a technical partner for what I want to do if there is no other way.
