Bloggers have ballooned into more progressive media and even moved into hosting with a personal domain. Starters normally go for free web hosting. My personal blog for example Life’s Simple Pleasures is hosted in a free web hosting through i.ph. The common way to go for is to host blogs on free hostings, but as the need grows there are things that I need to do or add on my blog which I could not do with the free hosting service. Thus, I have also created another blog like dviewfinder.com or aileentguirnela.com on a paid hosting.
Paid hosting sites allow me to do more things compared to a free hosted site. I could change the themes and could add more plugins for my blog. I have my own domain in this case. Shared hosting could be good as an alternative to free hosting, but as the name implies this hosting is shared with other countless users. It’s like an apartment room shared with other people and when one makes trouble all of you suffers. This is the same with a shared hosting you share the responsibility of the consequences of each ones action. The resources of the hosting is divided among you.
Serious blogs need some dedicated hosting for it to grow. The site owner is solely responsible for the whole blog. If you are responsible enough in your web hosting usage then you’ll get by without any problem. You don’t share the resources with other user’s which you don’t have control in their actions. When the visitors of your blog site has already a big following then dedicated hosting would be better. When you have around 500 visitors per day or more and you have a stream of paid advertisements on your blog then dedicated hosting is advisable. You can fully customize the themes, plugins and other web applications you like to add. You are fully in control of your whole blog site.
