Downtownhost.com offers shared web hosting and blog hosting and I'd like to know what is the difference between them? In terms of software, bandwidth, etc.

I think blog hosting is optimized for running blogs in an easy way. Surely if you plan to run a blog with downtownhost.com, use their blogging.

Blog hosting is just that!! Only a blog is hosted.

Whereas with webhosting you can have a content management system , a forum and a blog and more.

It depends on whether you just want a blog or if you want to use more than that and what you will be using the webhosting for? What kind of website?

But if the OP wants to host blog, that kind of Downtownhost.com services is o'k as they have done it for that purposes.

Though blog hosting is specially optimized for blogs, I suppose they are also could be hosted at usual shared account, having php, ie virtually everywhere.

Does Downtownhost.com provide any discounts on their services?
I'd like to run my blog with them as they seem are optimized for that.
