I was browsing on the net once and came across a really well designed website, it was a personal homepage but i liked the way it was done. i saw the domain name and it was on one of the free hosting servers, with a long URL and had a banner on the top of the page provided by the hosting company. It just made me think.

Hosting is dirt cheap, you can host a website right from 2 dollars a week (www.oxynic.com) and you can register a domain name for as less than $8.95 a year. You dont have to be smart enough to workout you can have a website for the cost of a burger a month.

I always fail to understand people who spend a lot of their time and make beautiful website, and end up hosting on a free server with long names and lot of banners.
[sigh]

Why settle for a subdomain of wordpress or blogspot.com when you can easily host one on your own domain at very cheap prices. There are many reasons why you should host a blog on your own domain, but i think the main reason apart from total freedom and self control, is the fact that hosted blogs seem to take preference when it comes to blogging for money.

I use Oxynic.com, I switched from my New Zealand provider because I found them to not only be cheaper but very professional as well as they had a good understanding about blogging requirements and were able to advise me of exacly all the benefits and what i needed.
