I just found Frugal, and your blog. This is the first thing I read, and it’s great advice indeed.

One question: when it comes to building websites for various offline businesses, how would you compare Frugal with WP to a website design software like XSitePro?

Thanks again for the great info!

Best Regards,

Adam

What Dave said, “But I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels that Frugal is rendered far more valuable because of your solid support and willingness to share your own experiences and insights to help us along.”

I second that! Your support, and commitment to frugal has been beyond expectations and it keeps going from strength to strength. I think we all know who your closest competitor is, and in my opinion you’ve left them in the dust! I’ve personally experienced their ‘support’ – no contest! They don’t even come close.

Hey Clay, I hope you find frugal to be a great tool for you online needs!

As far as 1and1 goes, I don’t have much of an opinion as I’ve only had ‘second-hand’ experience with it, but it seems fine. I’ve heard good things from those who use it though. And yeah, GoDaddy often times leaves a lot to be desired, depending on what server type/service you use with them. Eric

I recently contracted for the design of two WordPress CMS websites. However, I remained uncertain of what to use for three other text-centric blogs. I honestly don’t know where I ran across Frugal, but I’m glad I did. I feel confident it will be the answer to my quest.

I’m just curious if you have an opinion about 1and1.com as a host and domain registrar. They seem to offer good rates and features, and low domain registration rates (they own the .info domain). I was not a happy GoDaddy camper and moved to 1and1.com. Smiling most of the time now.

I look forward to becoming a Frugal blogger. Thanks.

Sort of you have put everything in a nutshell in a single post. Your advice will help take on 2010 in a very right perspective. 2009 would have left bad memories for quite a lot. But it is very important that we move ahead with whatever lessons learnt from 2009 which ruined businesses quite a bit.

Wishing you a great 2010.

Hey Dave, I really appreciate all the kind words and I’m so glad you’ve found frugal to be such a valuable tool. I agree that 2009 has brought about some great things (my son for example and yet as you mentioned I think most of us are ready to move past it. I hope your online endeavors are prosperous and that 2010 will be your best year yet! Eric
