Adding a blog to your Vacation Labs website
Before you begin
- If hosting your blog on a subdomain, i.e. blog.yourdomain.com, is acceptable to you then nothing in this, and related, support articles applies to you. Please host your blog using any blogging platform (Wordpress, Ghost, Blogger, etc) and configure it to
use blog.yourdomain.com as its address. Go to your domain panel and
create a DNS entries for blog.yourdomain.com as specified by your blogging
platform. Finally, add a link to your blog in your website header/footer. While there is no dependency on Vacation Labs in this process, we
would be glad to walk you through the process if you reach out to support@vacationlabs.com
- Only follow this, and related articles if you strongly prefer hosting your blog on a sub-directory, i.e. www.yourdomain.com/blog. Any blogging platform that allows a reverse-proxy setup will work with similar steps. The articles given below, provide the steps for one particular blogging platform (Wordpress on Hostinger), because we found it to be cost-effective and with reasonable support & up-time (not the best, but acceptable at the price). Again, any blogging
platform should work with similar steps, but these articles providesdetailed steps for one of them, which we have tried & tested.
