Drupal is advanced portal with collaborative book, search engines friendly URLs, online help, roles, full content search, site watching, threaded comments, version control, blogging, news aggregator.
Some people have considered that Drupal more difficult to install than some simple CMS programs or blogging tools such as WordPress.
But you can install Drupal just in a few clicks of mouse via web hosting account control panel using this step-by-step tutorial.
I would recommend you to signup for Micfo personal web hosting plan which allows you install Drupal in few minutes and clicks without paying for Drupal installation and studying of huge installation manual.
Micfo offers affordable web hosting with superb support and you can get personal web hosting account from them for less than 10 bucks per month and if you pay for 24 months period you get additional 12 months of web hosting free.
You may host unlimited domains and subdomains, all with detailed Webalizer and Awstats statistics, on one hosting account with 5GB web space and 100GB monthly bandwidth with unlimited POP3 email accounts.
One of the hints that I would personally recommend you when you signup for Micfo web hosting account - add a static IP address to your domain name - this costs you only $12 per year, but your domain with static ip address will have higher ranking on major search engines.
Not all web hosting companies offer static ip for personal hosting accounts, but Micfo offers the ability to add this feature to your domain for very cheap price.
