In the early days of the Internet, most of us were on blogging platforms like Blogspot since it was free and easy to use. However there were only limited customization options and your blog ended up looking like most other blogs.

WordPress changed all that and offered complete customizability. You could set it up on your own server and domain and change anything and everything you wanted. The possibilities were endless… Most of us who weren’t afraid of mucking about with code and hosting control panels moved to WordPress. The rest remained on Blogspot simply because it cost money to buy a domain and hosting. (You had free hosting of course but it wasn’t always reliable.) And the restrictions on WordPress.com did not make the switch worth it.

Ampli5.org was created to give friends pre-installed WordPress blogs without any of the WordPress.com restrictions. The blogs are installed on subdomains of Ampli5.org (example: http://adithya.ampli5.org) and members get full unlimited FTP access to their blog directories to do whatever they please.

Ampli5.org uses the excess capacity of our hosting company, Ampli5 Hosting (part of Ampli5 Technology Solutions) so bandwidth and space is not a problem.
