How to use SeekaHost.app to buy cheap domains and WordPress hosting?

By Ashutosh Jha → Wednesday, September 21, 2022
This guide will teach you how to use SeekaHost.app to buy cheap domains and WordPress hosting?

You can also use this guide to build WordPress PBNs if you want to.

Also, the word “cheap” plays a key role here. I’ll show you how to avail the best discounts without sacrificing any quality.

In less than $6.00, you can get your WordPress blog up and running in the next few seconds (with a .com domain)!

How to use SeekaHost.app to buy cheap domains?

There are various ways you can buy “cheap” domains on SeekaHost.app, or lower your costs. (I’ll show you the exact steps in the later sections on this guide).

The primary factor impacting your domain cost are:

  • Your domain extension.
  • The time-period you register your domain for.
  • Discounted domains (domains which may be going through promotional discounts).

If you need a “cheap” domain, you need to go with a cheaper extension, preferably discounted, and then register it for a smaller term.

How much do domains cost?

SeekaHost.app is almost always running promotional discounts, generally 30% or more. Currently, it lets you register the following domains at the prices mentioned below:

• .in-$3.25/year (70% discounted)
• .com -$5.99/year (50% discounted)
• .dev-$14.00/year (30% discounted)
• .app- $14.00/year (30% discounted)
• .ca-$7.99/year (47% discounted)
• ..co.uk- $$4.99/year (41% discounted)
• .it- $15.00/year
• .ch- $16.00/year
• .de- $8.00/year
• .io- $78.00/year
• .website- $25.00/year
• .online- $37.00/year
• .tech- $54.00/year
• .blog- $30.00/year
• .org- $15.00/year
• .net- $15.00/year
• .co- $30.00/year
• .nl- $8.00/year
• .ae- $50.00/year
• .com.au- $12.50/year

Do note that these prices are true for September 2022. These may or may not remain the same by the time you read this SeekaHost.app review.

What is the best domain extension?

If you ask me, I’ll advise you to go with the .com domain extension. Here’s why:

• it’s global
• Can be used for any industry/niche/project.
• Is the most common?
• Helps with SEO and is easy to remember.
• Despite all that, it is one of the cheapest.
Also, registering a .com domain doesn’t require any additional credentials or information. In other cases (e.g., when registering .co.uk/.ca or many other country-specific extensions), you’re required to enter a trading name and other such additional details.

You can also go with:

• Niche specific domains: .tech /.dev /.blog /.website etc. these will be the best bets if you’ve got a very specific project in mind.
• Country specific domains: If you’re creating a very national project and global branding isn’t your top priority.

How to use SeekaHost.app to buy cheap domains?

Before you can buy a domain, you need to search and check availability of the domain, don’t you?
Before you can search for the domain, you need to register at SeekaHost.app.
Just click on this link and fill out the registration form.


1 Once you’re in, click on the Domain name button and then click on Register domain.


2 [Optional] You need “cheap” domains, don’t you? The best way to get those is to check which domains have an offer on them.

You can do that if you click on the “Offers” tab on the next page. This will only show you the domains that have one or the other kind of discount available.


3 If you find an extension you like, search for domains using that extension in the search box above. Once you find the domain you like, click on “Add to cart”.


4 [Tip: You can completely skip the entire “offers” step mentioned above. You can simply and directly search for a domain and then check its price.]

For the next step, click on the “checkout” button that you see. This will take you to the purchase page. Here, just click “next”.


5 SeekaHost.app will ask you to enter information such as your name, address, contact details, etc. Enter these and click on Next.


6 Lastly, choose how you wish to pay, enter your payment information, and click on Order Now.


7 You can now access this domain that you purchased under Domain name-domains from the options on the left.

Is there a domain refund policy?

Alike most other registrars, SeekaHost.app doesn’t offer refunds on domains.

This is because “domains” are something that SeekaHost.app doesn’t provide on its own. They’re registered with a third-party, a central registry and hence it’s not easy for a provider to simply scratch a domain name at will.

However, its hosting trial plans (discussed next) will probably impress you.

What is WordPress hosting?

Let’s first talk about exactly what WordPress hosting is?

It’s a hosting service which allows you to host WordPress blogs. In most cases, it’s additionally optimized for WordPress blogs. One-click WordPress installation too is generally found with WordPress servers.

SeekaHost.app also offers a few settings you can configure even before installing WordPress.

How much do WordPress hosting servers cost?

Here are the SeekaHost.app WordPress hosting packages:

• Starter: $1.49/month (1 website)
• Standard: $5.50/month (3 websites)
• Growth: $8.00/month (5 websites)
• Premium:$12.00/month (10 websites)


7 day free trial

SeekaHost.app lets you use all of their hosting plans completely free for the first 7 days.

There are no feature restrictions or spec limitations. You get the complete server that you’d get if you pay for the server.

In this guide, I’ll show you how to get the free trial when buying your hosting server.

Let’s get to the point then?

How to buy cheap WordPress hosting on SeekaHost.app?

Click on the Hosting plans button. Then select WordPress hosting.

9 [Tip]: You can also click on the A class IP hosting button. This too offers you WordPress servers, but the most premium IPs. These are more expensive. The steps will remain exactly the same.


You should click on the “7 day free trial” link if you wish to try SeekaHost.app without having to pay anything.


15 You can also click on the “Choose plan” button if you do not need the 7 day trial. The next steps do not change depending on your choice here.

You then need to enter your name, address and other such personal details. Then, if you need “cheap” hosting, you can choose to go with the “Annual” plan. It offers you nearly 33% discount as compared to monthly payments.

10 You can obviously also choose to pay monthly. Once you’ve selected your payment terms, click on the continue to subscribe button.


Then just make your payment.

11 This is how you can purchase a cheap WordPress hosting using SeekaHost.app.


How to access the WordPress control panel?

I’m sure you’ve noticed there’s no “cPanel”.

Hence, in order to access your WordPress site, you need to click on Websites & blogs. Then if you click on WordPress Sites, SeekaHost.app will let you install WordPress.

12 There are two ways you can install WordPress.



• One-click installation: Once you click on the “Add new WP site” button above, you’re then asked to enter a few basic details. You can enter your blog domain and blog title. No other details are required.

13 • Advanced installation: If you click on the “WordPress settings optional +” button, you get a few more options. You get to change your admin e-mail, theme, and install dozens of plugins in a single click.


14 So this is how you install WordPress on your SeekaHost.app WordPress hosting server.


Things to do after installing WordPress on SeekaHost.app

I wouldn’t stretch this further. I’m sure you know what follows next.

However, in case you’re completely new to this, here’s the general direction you should head in:

• Go to your WordPress control panel and copy your nameservers.
• Go to your domain control panel and unlock domain > paste the namservers.

I’d also advise you to enable the free SSL that you get with SeekaHost.app.

Wrapping it up - How to use SeekaHost.app to buy cheap domains and WordPress hosting?

I’ve tried to make this guide as straightforward and simple as possible.

However, if you do get stuck, SeekaHost.app offers 24X7 support (even if you haven’t purchased anything) via tickets.

The company also offers free backups and DDoS protection if those things interest you in any way.

If you wish to build a PBN, SeekaHost.app specializes in that as well. All you have to do is, simply select the PBN package instead of the WP package. This guide can be used ditto build your PBN if you simply replace it with one step.

Go sign up at SeekaHost.app and give their 7-day trial a try? I’d love to know your views and opinions on this guide, as well as the company once your trial is over!

Free Migration - Although migrating your site to Templ is very easy, you can ask the Templ team to do this for you. In the next section, I am sharing how I migrated my existing site in a few minutes.

How to migrate your existing WordPress site to Templ

Recently, I was looking for a cloud host for one of my affiliate sites which has 1000+ posts. The reasons were the resources and speed. I came across Templ and liked it very much. The basic pricing of the Templ is $29 per month and it comes with free SSL, speed optimization, updates, and more. If you want to add an additional website, you can pay just $10 extra.

#3 CloudWays Hosting- Another alternative to SiteGround Hosting in Cloud

CloudWays is another good hosting company you can think of as a SiteGround Hosting alternative. They host your website on the cloud supported by the world’s leading infrastructure companies like-
  • Amazon
  • Google
  • DigitalOcean
  • Kyup
  • Vulture
You can quickly start your business with CloudWays and host all your files securely. Also, their pricing is in the mid-range and so affordable to all. The other benefit I found with CloudWays is, you can select your Datacenter near to you. That means check from which location you are getting maximum visitors and accordingly select the Datacenter near to it.
Apart from all these, you will have all the features of SiteGround hosting or any other hosting like 1-click install, backups, support, etc.

CloudWays Pros

  • Choose your own cloud technology, app and deployments can be done in 10 minutes
  • Easy and interactive interfaces and anyone can get started with
  • Pricing depends on the infrastructure you will select and for DO, it starts at just $0.01/hour
  • Full control over your infrastructure and excellent tools available for DB management
  • Plenty of power for large sites on more expensive plans
  • Free website migration from another hosting

CloudWays Cons

For beginners, again the price can be one of the factors (although it is less) and a large number of apps and customization, beginners will have to do little struggle as which one to choose.

#4 Inmotion Hosting –Budget Hosting Alternative to SiteGround

Inmotion is quite a famous name in the hosting industry. It is very much popular in the shared hosting segment and is ideal for all which is getting few to a small range of traffic.
Recently, they have launched a website builder platform named, BoldGrid and if you an Inmotion customer, access to BoldGrid will be free for you. It is just like any other website builder (like Wix) with some rich features.

Inmotion provides all kind of hosting services starting from shared to dedicated servers. You can select the one as per your need and budget (famous for shared hosting).

Their servers are SSDs which means you will get better performance than the hosting which uses HDDs. The WordPress hosting plan for two websites starts at $3.49 per month and you get unlimited bandwidth and disk space along with unlimited emails.

Inmotion Pros

  • All the servers are SSDs which gives you 200% better performance
  • Low cost compared to another cloud hosting

  • BoldGrid is included in all the plans which give you the flexibility to build your website
  • Free website transfer and all the general benefits like 1-click install, backup, etc. those are all the other hosting companies.

Inmotion cons

If you are having a very high traffic website, you may experience some glitches and so not recommended for high traffic sites.


#5 DreamHost Cloud – Cheap and Best alternative to SiteGround

DreamHost is not a new name in the hosting community and they are really a very old player. Yes, their DreamHost cloud is comparatively new but gaining the market very rapidly.

Like any other cloud hosting services, DreamHost also charges on an hourly basis and is quite less than what other companies charge. I had my site hosted on DreamHost for around 11 months before I moved to NameCheap and the main reason was the support. DreamHost’s support is one of the major cons I found during my tenure. Although they respond to each query, the turnaround time is quite large.

You can check my DreamHost Review and how to start a WP blog on DreamHost in 5 minutes articles to know more.

No matter how much time you will use their servers, you will be charged for max 25 days per month. Their plans start at just $0.0075/hour which comes at $4.5/month which is less than CloudWays or any other SiteGround alternative.

DreamHost Pros

  • Very less price compared to other alternatives to SiteGround even for cloud hosting
  • All the other normal features those are provided by every hosting company
  • Servers are ready for SSH in less than 30 seconds
  • All servers are SSDs and so speed and performance will be better

DreamHost cons

The major is the timely support. You will get the full support but timing will be a constraint. Also, if you are using their shared hosting, no cPanel will be provided.

#6 Kinsta- One stop alternative to SiteGround for high traffic sites

Kinsta, you might not be well aware of but is one of the best hosting companies in the world. The major reason is not so well known is their price. Kinsta is very much costly and so everyone can’t afford it and even a small or mid-range sites should not try as well. We can say Kinsta is the most expensive SiteGround alternative.

Their servers are powered by the world’s top infrastructure, Google cloud platform and so you will not have to compromise in terms of performance.

All the plans have almost same features but start at $100/mo. and so it is not recommended and feasible for all. With all the Kinsta plan, you will get unlimited traffic but you will have to think of the Bandwidth. So, select the plan which suits your bandwidth requirements.

Kinsta Pros

  • Free site migration
  • Great and reliable cloud infrastructure
  • Regular backup and great support

Kinsta Cons

Kinsta is one of the most expensive clouds hosting in the industry

Which SiteGround Alternative you should try?

Finally, we have come to the end of this best SiteGround alternatives post and I hope you got enough alternatives to SiteGround Hosting.

If you are looking for a cheap alternative to SiteGround, then you may try BlueHost, DreamHost, or Inmotion.

If you are looking for costly and reliable SiteGround alternative then you can go with Kinsta without a second thought.

For all the options between these two, CloudWays is always there to host your website :)

Do let me know which you think to be the best SiteGround alternative.

5+ Best WordPress Autoblogging plugins for Content Curation

By Ashutosh Jha → Saturday, January 2, 2021
WordPress autoblogging plugins help us to keep our blog and website refresh and keep it growing. Many times we face this issue that we don’t get much of the time to maintain the blog and you should be ready to maintain your blog when you are busy.

However, it is not that easy to create fresh content every day and especially when you’re too busy. Another issue is that, many of us can’t afford freelance writers to write the new content and if we can also, there is no guarantee that it will be of the high quality that we expect from our blog.

WordPress Autoblogging plugins

Recently I have started a niche blog (I’ll write the case study as for how it will perform further) and have hired a girl for the content. She is delivering the content on time but not getting the quality that I expected and so have to spend much of the time to edit that article. So another approach to this is the WP Autoblog plugin.

WordPress auto content generator can help you in such a scenario. This WordPress autoblogging plugin allows you to generate free content for your blog.

Top WordPress Autoblogging Plugins

So here are the top WordPress autoblogging plugins for you to create fresh content for your blog and website. Some of these WP Autoblog plugins are free while others are paid and you’ll have to pay to have those plugins.

1. WP RSS Aggregator - FREE auto blogger plugin

WP RSS Aggregator is considered as one of the best autoblogging WordPress plugins and is completely free. This plugin is used for importing, merging, and displaying RSS and Atom feeds on your WordPress site.

WordPress Autoblogging plugins

With this free core version of WP RSS Aggregator, you’ll be able to aggregate as many RSS feeds from as many sources as you'd like. The most important feature that I liked about this autoblog WordPress plugin is, it is highly customizable. You can arrange the feeds as per your need.

Here you can select the feed time interval and can also open the external links in the new tab and much more.

Here are the few amazing features of WP RSS Aggregator-

• You can always export a custom RSS feed depending upon your feed sources.

• It allows you to display your imported feed items with the help of a shortcode.

• You can set the name of the feed source along with the features like pagination, date format, and links as well.

• You’re allowed to limit the number of feed items in the database.

• It also can open video websites like Daily Motion, YouTube, and Vimeo directly on your blog.
