It's the single most important piece of advice for anyone who is remotely serious about an online presence and yet so many still seem reluctant to pay for decent hosting. By putting yourself in control with your own domain, your options for revenue generation, customization and everything else are hugely enhanced, so you can soon recoup the costs of hosting. My hosting costs me $24.95 per month - not the cheapest but that little bit extra assures me of a reliable and responsive host who don't overload their shared hosting servers. The beauty for me is, that I earn money from my hosting company too :-) . Free blogging platforms are great but their limitations soon become obvious and restrictive. Get a host and be your own boss!

A Comprehensive and analytical post. What I'll add is a feeling of freedom that one gets having own hosting, i.e. from customizing the blog to monetization, everything goes the way you want it.

In the end, the the blogger lost her $$ regardless. Yes, I think in this case, the “friend” wasn’t so much unscrupulous (in the business sense) but more of a control freak.

Unscrupulous web developers or those that go out of business can hold people's websites and blogs pretty much hostage. OUCH! If the customer has a problem doing it- we will hold their hand during the process.

I've been thinking about starting a second blog. And I think you've convinced me to go ahead and get a host and use WordPress. I've only had my blog for a little over six months, but I would be horrified if anything like what happened to Angie happened to me. Great post. I’ve been thinking about starting a second blog.
