I'm thinking about setting up a blog / vlog with a friend of mine as a side project and possible source of income down the road. We listen to new music, go to concerts together and then have these winding discussions about our thoughts and opinions. So, we were thinking about doing two-sided reviews, from both of our perspectives on the blog, and then having a conversation format for the YouTube channel. We're working on our intro 'jingle' now. The next step is to sell digital music (composed by us) from our own website, which will hopefully be boosted by the traffic for the blog and vlog portion of the project. We're still looking for hosting in the UK, and have found this offer so far:
http://www.1and1.co.uk/web-hosting Any quick suggestions on that side of things from the community would be great. 
Our whole idea was inspired by #3 on this 'How Musicians Can Make Money' list btw: bandzoogle.com/blog/18-ways-musicians-can-make-money

Hi Vogel

I can highly recommend the company I use to host this forum. In fact, I like them so much, I am an affiliate (affiliate link disclosure) 5quidhost.co.uk

But there are plenty out there, and I personally would avoid 1&1 like the plague. I can make other recommendations if you don't like the look of 5quidhost.
