Fee blogging or paid blogging platform ?

What are you using for hosting your blog,free blogging platform or paid blogging platform ?

earlier I was on blogger.com for my blogs,but now I love paid blogging platform as it looks more professional than that of free blogging platforms.Now I'm using wordpress CMS for my blog.

I currently am on Blogspot - a free blogging service. I think for starters free blog services are wonderful. Reason is that many of us take a jump into blogging just for the sake of it.

But for professionals, I would agree that Paid blogging platforms work wonders. Hope that by mid of the year, I too would jump on to a paid blogging solution. Which One? I am unsure as of now - coz I am not much into wordpress. But have realised that it is much better and advanced than Blogspot. Should get an idea about wordpress

If you want to get a feel for the power of WordPress before setting up your own hosting take a look at XAMPP. This program will install Apache (server) and MySQL (database) on your computer. It will also install phpMyAdmin which provides a web-based interface to the database. Then you can download and install WordPress on your PC.

I think if you are new in blogging then blogger is a good choice for you but if you are a professional and have good knowledge of all the tools then you should select paid blogging platform even it is good for you to have your own website.

I've made more money with blogger.com blogs than I do with my hosted blog.

But that's all down to content and the markets I'm in. My hosted site is in a very competitive market, most of my blogger blogs are dealing with microniches.

You can do way more with hosted sites, but I find it a little overkill at times, blogger blogs keep things simple.

If anything I'd rather just buy a domain name and get rid of the .blogspot. than buy hosting again.

I choose fee blogging for more professional. If you need something value on blogging, i think go for fee blogging..

Well paid blogging is better cause you get extra features and stuff. But free is good too if your saving money..
