Remote Blog or Self Hosted Blog?
So you've decided to blog, but aren't sure whether you
should host the blog yourself or sign up for a free service
like blogger.com. It's a dilemma that many bloggers face.
There are pros and cons to both, which makes the decision
difficult for many. Neither is perfect, and neither is for
everyone. Fortunately, you should be able to make the best
decision for you if you are armed with adequate knowledge
of both. In this newsletter, we'll go over services like
blogger.com, and others, plus software that allows you to
host your own blog. We'll also go over the pros and cons of
each. After reading this, you will know which is best for
you.

Who offers free blog hosting?

Many sites offer free blog hosting. Among them are Forumer,
Blogger, BlogEasy, Aeonity, BlogThing, and Blogates. A
quick search for free blog on Google reveals many
possibilities.

What software can I use to host my own blog?

Like free blog hosting, there are many possibilities for
software that makes hosting your own blog easy. Most of
them are free to use. These include:

WordPress(the most popular software), Apache, Roller,
Blosxom, Geeklog, Textpattern, LifeType.

There is also blog software which you can purchase for use
on your site. These include:

Community, Server, Movable, Type, Radio, UserLand.

One negative about using software and hosting your own blog
is that the process can often times be complicated. You
have to download the software and install it to your
server, which doesn't always go easily. It's particularly
hard for those who don't have a lot of experience
installing things on servers.

Why should I remotely host my blog at a place like Blogger?

Places like Blogger allow you to host your blog there. It's
a good option for many people.

The Pros

It's easy to set up and maintain a blog. You don't have to
go through the trouble of installing software and
configuring it to work on your server. All you have to do
is sign up for an account and start posting. It's
friendly for beginning bloggers. Sites that host blogs
offer good tutorials on how to make your blog postings, so
that even someone who is completely new to the concept of
blogging can do it easily. Most blog hosting sites are
completely free to use. There is no need to pay for things
like a domain name and hosting. Monetizing your blog is
easy. Rather than having to manually put HTML/Javascript
codes on your blog to manually set up things like AdSense
and Pay Per Click advertising, you can select an option on
most blog hosting sites that does much of the work for you.

The Cons

You don't have as many options to customize your blog.
Remotely hosted blogs are admittedly somewhat limited in
terms of what you can actually do on them. You have to
stick with what is provided to you in terms of look and
features. The URL you get is always
yourname.BLOGSITE.com. You don't get to have a custom
domain name like YOURNAME.com. This can possibly hurt
traffic to your blog. Blogs hosted on free blog sites
don't look as professional as self hosted blogs.

Why should I self-host my blog?

The Pros

You have more options and more flexibility. You are able to
tweak the blog to your liking. Your URL is your address
for your blog. Rather than having go to where your blog is
hosted to read it, they can read it right from your site.
The ability to make your blog look professional. Blogs that
are hosted on sites of their own tend to look a lot better
than those hosted on free sites. More space for your
blog. Free blog sites usually place a restriction on how
much space you have for things like photos and music. By
hosting your own blog, you are able to use as much space as
you need. The Cons

There are sometimes problems with setting up blog software
to run on your site and server. If you aren't experienced
when it comes to working with mySQL, the process will be
hard. Updates aren't as easy to post. You have to
manually set up programs to monetize your blog. However, if
you are good with HTML/Javascript, this shouldn't be too
hard. You have to pay for your own hosting and domain

As you can see, there are pros and cons to both. Which
should you choose? Well, it depends on who you are and what
you intend to use your blog for. If you intend to use it
for business, then a self-hosted blog is the best idea. If
it's a personal blog, then a free hosted blog will probably
be fine for you.
