Host your own Blog or signup for a free blog service?

When deciding to blog, there are ways  whether you should host the blog yourself or sign up for a free service like blogger.com. This is a quesrion many bloggers ask. You have pros and cons to making this decision for many. Neither is perfect, and neither is for everyone. Before making this decision  .
There are many sites that offer free hosting.. Going over Google search one may  find  many possibilities.
Just like free blog hosting, there are many possibilities for software that makes hosting your own blog easy. Most of them are free to use. Word Press(the most popular software), Apache, Roller, Blosxom, Geeklog, Textpattern, LifeType.
I personally use WordPress software,and for my own hosting which is  Cpanel server , and am independent on admin and  configure my blog according to my own needs..

The Cons
You don’t have as many options to customize your blog. Remotely hosted blogs are admittedly somewhat limited in terms of what you can actually do on them. You have to stick with what is provided to you in terms of look and features.  The URL you get is always yourname.BLOGSITE.com. You don’t get to have a custom domain name like YOURNAME.com. This can possibly hurt traffic to your blog.  Blogs hosted on free blog sites don’t look as professional as self hosted blogs.
Why should I self-host my blog?
The Pros
You have more options and more flexibility. You are able to tweak the blog to your liking.  Your URL is your address for your blog. Rather than having go to where your blog is hosted to read it, they can read it right from your site.  The ability to make your blog look professional. Blogs that are hosted on sites of their own tend to look a lot better than those hosted on free sites.  More space for your blog. Free blog sites usually place a restriction on how much space you have for things like photos and music. By hosting your own blog, you are able to use as much space as you need.

The Cons
There are sometimes problems with setting up blog software to run on your site and server. If you aren’t experienced when it comes to working with mySQL, the process will be hard.  Updates aren’t as easy to post.  You have to manually set up programs to monetize your blog. However, if you are good with HTML/Javascript, this shouldn’t be too hard.  You have to pay for your own hosting and domain
As you can see, there are pros and cons to both. Which should you choose? Well, it depends on who you are and what you intend to use your blog for. If you intend to use it for business, then a self-hosted blog is the best idea. If it’s a personal blog, then a free hosted blog will probably be fine for you.

Here I am… a ‘MSTF Certified Expert’! How it started? Well! I’m just one of those millions of people who are creating Blogs on the Internet. In fact, I’m a Work From Home Mom who started this exciting ’sport’ just a few months ago – in the YCADEMY SEMINAR November 2007 to be exact – where The Magic Search Traffic Formula was introduced to the ‘lucky’ participants. I say ‘lucky’ as, amazingly, with the use of this absolutely unique formula… TMSTF… , me! Alejandra Neri, an unknown person on the Internet, reached Number ONE on Google! And I wasn’t the only one… I still have to pinch myself that by following the precise instructions delivered with this Secret Formula I could reach such success that fast! Others are dreaming of it, huge companies are paying dearly for it… and I just got there in a fun way! The Magic Search Traffic Formula is like the North Star: follow its shining direction and you get where you want to be! Did you notice? Many use the word "MAGIC"… and when you look behind the scenes you wonder why? Here you find true MAGIC… hidden within the formula, carrying you through the process of your daily routine and rewarding your consistency and focus! And yes: it’s putting that smile on my lips… and if you are a little patient and come back here from time to time, I will pass it on to you This is HOW… : while observing the daily results based on my activities to stay at the top after having reached it, I am putting together a Special Report that explains the exciting journey of "How I reached Google Number ONE" with just a Smile… and a little pink hamster on my heels !
