Lately I have been pondering whether to make the shift from Google hosted blogspot account to a self hosted blog. If you regularly visit the blog’s site (instead of viewing it in email or a reader) then you probably notice I’m not afraid to mess around with my template and play with the coding. Self hosting is whole ‘nother ball of wax! There is a certain safety net Google Blogger offers by hosting the blog for me. I’m not sure how running a self hosting blog works, especially if you want to customize the template yourself!
I know Wordpress is WILDLY popular but after hearing about the Wordpress attacks a few weeks ago, I’m glad I use Blogger.
After reading about fellow bloggers hurt by the hacks, their frustrations with their hosting services and, in some cases, glowing recommendations for a new provider they switched to after being hacked, I started to look into hosting services, pricing, options, etc. It seems prices range from wallet friendly plans to budget busters! The one’s I checked out all offer similar benefits so I’m not sure why there’s such a big discrepancy in the price tags.
