Hi guys, I'm sure this topic must have been covered on Nairaland before but I will still like to ask.

I started a free blog two years ago. I intend to upgrade it this year and get my own custom domain name. However, the money I expected wasn't forthcoming so I decided to keep updating my free blog.

This evening, I wanted to make it look a little better; I wanted to make it more attractive and professional, but I ended up making it worse. Right now I have lost the zeal go work on the blog. I feel I should move to WordPress Now. I don't know if it's a better option.

If I want to start a blog in Nigeria in 2019, how much will it cost me? What will it take to host it and buy a domain name? Can WordPress host my blog for me?
What type of payment would I need to buy?
Please help me know how much to budget for getting the blog started.

Although I am not starting this blog to make money from it, I may make attempt but I am doing it solely to express myself.
I write motivational and self help post. I focus on teaching personal development.
This may give you clue on the type of hosting package I should get.

Unserious blogger, zero naira, semi serious blogger, 10 to 15k
Serious blogger, no fixed price cuz you'll have to pay for adverts and stuffs at first but blogging is definitely profitable if you are determined and serious about it.

It's nothing to feel bad about. Yes, I would advise you switch to WordPress because you'd enjoy it. It's easy to use, especially with the mobile app.

To host your blog, you may consider the following prices for different packages;

6800
8500
12500
24800
48800

You may also contact me as I'd be glad to be of help. Cheers.�

Since you're just starting I can share my hosting with you while you pay for your domain name.

when you have grown, you can move to your own hosting.

It'll cost you N15,000 only.
The above cost covers;
1. New Domain name registration/1 year.
2. Web hosting/1 year.
3. > WordPress contents transfer.
4. WordPress installation & configuration.
5. Technical support/1 year.
6. AdSense integration
