Web Hosting
I am thinking about creating a basic non-monetized blog to document my travels for family, friends, and other interested parties. I've had some experience with WordPress and plan to utilize it for this project.
Any thoughts on low cost hosting services, including the purchase of a domain name? My own Internet searches have pricing and features all over the place.
Thanks!

I can't say enough good things about FastComet. Fast, knowledgeable support 24/7. Good, clean documentation. Check their ratings on Trustpilot.
I started with them last November for my two domains. Got a deal for $80 for two years of hosting for both. Some of their promos are for one billing cycle, but you can have a billing cycle of a year or more.

Paid (or free) WordPress.com sites work great, and support plugins (that you probably don't need for this purpose) at higher price points. Basic custom domain site is $4/month, and is probably as secure as a WordPress site can be (IMO).

Anybody have experience with Bluehost or Hostinger?
I need to create a small business website (will probably hire someone to do the initial it up) and these two were recommended as easy to use with Wordpress and supposedly integrate decent email as well (I want email addressed to me at my domain).
I see google transitioned all of my domains to squarespace which I guess I will have to transition again.
Thanks

Look at SiteGround. I've had it for several years for my business and domain email and have been happy with it.
