How to host a blog on your free Dropbox account?


It is the question that I was having in my mind for years since the DropBox was launched. This is because the Dropbox use Amazon AWS for storing our files securely on the web. The Amazon AWS is known for it's uptime and reliability that is why they counts customers like Netflix, Dropbox, Tumblr etc.

There is app name Scriptogram which will help you to do this into reality. You have to sign up with your Dropbox usernames. You can add personalized domain name too. So it's very easy to use and very effective. But it will not be as friendly as Wordpress or blogger. But you can edit your own theme or there are preloaded small number of themes which you can use easily.
The blog can be edited from any device with internet. But you have to write your post in Markdown format. This Markdown is bit tricky.

The Pros of hosting your blog with Scriptogram:

  • Domain name can be added by just changing the A record or CNAME (if sub-domain is used)
  • You do not have to think about the uptime it is 99.999%
  • You will be storing your data at Amazon AWS datacenter.
  • You can create a custom theme.
  • You can utilize your massive a 18 GB storage space of your free account.
  • You do not have to maintain your servers and the lots of password.
  • You can use your username and the password of your DropBox account.
  • If you require more storage then you are flexible by buying a plan.
  • It is secure.



The Cons:

  • The Scriptogram is currently in beta stage.
  • Not much support is available.
  • The Markdown is not so much user friendly.
  • You have to bit geek.
Then host securely and enjoy and utilize your 18GB of free storage.
