Ella-Grace

My name is Ella Grace, and I'm a sweet little girl with a simple moniker. My birth date is the 16th of June, the year 2000. I was born in Ghana's capital city of Accra, but I currently reside in South Africa. For the better part of my childhood, I lived in Ghana. I attended the University of Education for my IT education. Aside from writing, I've also worked as an SEO consultant and as an affiliate marketer in the past. I've helped a lot of folks get their website up and running on the host, both in terms of development and installation. Being available to help individuals solve their problems is something I'm well-known for doing. Hosting companies like DreamHost and Hostinger are also on my radar.
