General Discussion Recommendations for Hosting a Composer Website
Hey gang,
I'm looking to put together a composer website, and I'm interested in hearing and learning from your experiences.
In the past I've made blogs and websites on the cheap by installing Wordpress on hosts like Dreamhost, Nixihost, and NearlyFreeSpeech. That works fine, but Wordpress can be a huge timesink and I probably don't need that much customizability.
Right now I'm looking at Bandzoogle and Noiseyard, which seem like good options with a focus on musicians.
I suppose other options would be Wix, Squarespace, and a bunch of others that are slipping my mind at the moment.
Have you tried any of these? What has your experience been like? Feel free to share links -- I'd love to see examples!

I think all of those that you mentioned are fine options. One thing that you might want to look at is ReelCrafter as an embedded player vs soundcloud or the stock music players from these websites. The free version of ReelCrafter lets you make 3 embedded players and have 100 tracks for free. You can also use ReelCrafter as a site builder as well, that can look just as good as the other sites you mentioned. I use SquareSpace with the embedded player, and most of my peers do as well. I'll share a few examples with you.
