Question: is there any recommended practice to implement this kind of homepage with permalinked URL? You should let the homepage be the homepage and you should not add redirects. Each time a robot wants to index your homepage, there would be a redirect to some new page (at least one new page each day). This is not helpful for your ranking. Instead, ...

There's a couple of possible solutions in this blog post, though see my comment above. I haven't used the Migration plugin myself, and it's pretty old, but I'd have to assume it functions if someone's still recommending it. The Redirection plugin I have used, and it's pretty convenient as it lets you set up redirect patterns(obviously), but also logs ...

An other option would be to get a webspace package. Then you don't need to care about the server, you only have to care about your blog. And updating wordpress is very easy and doesn't need much time.

Basically, Matt Cutts (from Google) stated (and recommends as a best practice) that Google treats hyphens in URLs as word separators, which would (in theory) weight subfolders differently than hyphens between words.

As long as the URLs are static there are only minor differences. URL become part of the SERP and like with your page's title not all characters are shown. So I decided against having the date as part of my URL to make the URL shorter. This makes them also better readable when written somewhere else. Also I replace all special characters with the minus (-) ...

I do not know of any way to keep the permalinks. Yes, you can predict the link from the post title - I was just about to do the research and write up the current rules when they added the custom-permalink feature, so I didn't bother. But basically, the text portion is geneated from the start of your post title, with a dash () substituted for spaces, and ...
