<strong>Strategic</strong> <strong>Use</strong> of <strong>New</strong> <strong>Media</strong> for <strong>Peaceful</strong> <strong>Social</strong> <strong>Change</strong><br />
Self-hosted means you get your own hosting or a third-party paid site.<br />
Good examples of hosting sites include bluehost.com and hostgator.com.<br />
This costs around USD 4-5 per month, and provides your own unique<br />
domain name (URL), for example www.sawtna.net. Independent hosting<br />
accounts give you total control and freedom to design and manage your<br />
blog as well as access to a customized email (e.g., yourname@yourname.<br />
com). They also allow you to easily transform your blog into a website. With<br />
that power comes added complexity and the need to have basic HTML and<br />
web-design skills. Note that it is possible to buy a domain name and then<br />
map it to your platform-hosted blog.
