A friend wants to set up a blog/site for her fledgling craft business. She doesn't plan to sell directly through the site, but in shops and on sites like Etsy - so no e-commerce requirement. The site would act as a way to post about how she makes things, what she's done, etc - a shop window rather than a shop.
Now that Google stopped the free business accounts, I'd like a recommendation for domain and hosting. It needs to be cheap, simple and easy - she's tech-savvy but not a techy in any way.
She'll almost certainly go for Wordpress, so I was debating the merits of a Wordpress hosting package rather than installing WP on a generic hosting package. But then many hosts will give you 1-click WP installation so what exactly does WP hosting get you for the small amount extra you'd pay?
So far I checked out GoDaddy since I use them for my hosting... looks like £3-5/month is the ballpark for this.
