  1. Hello would you mind letting me know which web host you’re utilizing?
    I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different web browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot faster
    then most. Can you recommend a good web hosting provider at a fair price?
    Many thanks, I appreciate it!

  2. Amazing blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers?
    I’m hoping to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost
    on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or
    go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that
    I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any recommendations?

    Many thanks!
