Why You Should Not Use Them, Free Blogs

Curious as to whether you should host your own blog, or choose a free blog provider like BlogSpot? This is a question more and more people are asking themselves after witnessing just how far their blog has come.

lthough there are advantages and disadvantages to both, having your own web hosting server is always better at the end of the day. Here are to simple (and extremely valid) reasons why you should avoid using a free blog provider:

Reason #1: Limited Resources

For such a big volume of activity, it can only afford to offer the very least. A blog that offers an extensive amount of features to a large number of people consumes much more resources than what its own servers can provide — ultimately running the risk of major crashes.

Even something as simple as a low-graphic poll can consume an insurmountable amount of bandwidth if over 100,000 bloggers decide to offer one to their visitors. Imagine for example how much bandwidth a popular blog already consumes.

In fact, you shouldn’t consume any more bandwidth with your own hosted blog than you would consume with your own hosted website.

Reason #2: Limited Monetizing Opportunities

We couldn’t count the number of people who want to monetize their blogs if we wanted to. The simple fact is that everyone and his “mom” wants to monetize their blog but the ugly reality is that many (free) remotely hosted blogs don’t allow it.

With your own blog of course, you can advertise whatever, whenever, where ever. You’re only restricted by your conscience (or by the data revealed from your visitor stats) and the only policies that you have to follow are the policies of your 3rd party ad providers. This accordingly opens doors for tremendous opportunities with Adsense, Amazon, and any number of the hundred other affiliate schemes we have available.

Reason #3: Long Term Control of Content

One of the most overlooked reasons to get your own blog hosting is the complete control over content in the long term. Although several free blog providers like BlogSpot are unlikely to go our of business, some of the smaller ones eventually will.

Unfortunately, any search engine ranking you get, and the free traffic that comes along with it, will be lost. So even if you think you’re saving a buck or two today, in the long term you’re always on the losing end if you decide not to host your own blog.

Web hosting blog blogs nowadays is pretty affordable – mostly under $7 a month – so there’s no real reason not to take your blog to the next level. The security, flexibility and professional image it gives you more than covers for the meager cost.
