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.
