I started writing a blog in 2008. At first, I used a free subdomain of WordPress. After one year, I bought a domain thinkdiff.net, bought hosting from hostgator.com and installed WordPress to publish my writings. Writing is my hobby. I write technical articles on my blog.
A few days ago, I decided to permanently avoid WordPress, hosting service etc. Let me share with you, what I have done instead of using WordPress and personally managed hosting and how it benefits me.
