Hosting has been an issue for almost all Cambodian bloggers. We have worked so hard to get the site up and express ourselves and passion to the world. Having a blog or website is what a Cambodian blogger like us wants to have. As the world moves on, Cambodian like us should have something to share and get updated with the change of the modern world.

I love blogging so much and today, I just want to share all of you with one website of my friend who providing free Khmer Hosting. If you are tired of paying your paid hosting every month? If you have problems with space or issues? You might want to change to Phnom Penh.

It is a new website run by Khmer blogger like us. I am not responsible, affiliate, or member of that site but I just want to let all Khmer people know if you need a free hosting, you are not worrying anymore. I don’t say the site is good, it depends on people who try it but you should read their term and compare with your host yourself. If you like it, you might want to try out.

They also have a low cost paid hosting plan too, but I suggest you to get the free one because I believe the features are almost the same. Why pay when you get a free one!

Below is a free plan breaking down:

• 250 Mb Space | 5000 Mb Data Transfer

• 2 Your Own Personal Domains|2 Subdomains (ex:yoursitename.phnompenh.name)

• 1 FTP | 1 Webmail | 2 Mysql

• PHP | CGI-BIN | FrontPage

• Latest cPanel 11 | SSI (Server Side Includes)

• No Ads or Pop Up ( Might be text links said Free Hosted By Phnom Penh…ect in the footer )
  

I suggest you to read their TOS first before setting up a site…

Which blogging software (wordpress or blogger) do you like to use for your blog? I got used to start with blogsport or blogger software for a short time and then I stopped using it. I have started using wordpress blogging software instead. I now got accustomed to wordpress. Therefore, I like using blogging software wordpress rather than blogger. How about you?

That is Cambodian guy wearing T-shirt bearing with logo of “Wordpress”, whether it means that he really supports wordpress, right?
