The advantage of self blog hosting

There are many advantages to self hosting your own blog. Self blog web hosting is a preferred method of blogging due to some of the advantages that will be listed here. They include:

1. You will not have the risk of your blog being taken down over night. This has happened to very many people and is still happening every day.

2. You will have complete control when it comes to your source codes and files unlike other hosting sites. In these hosting sites, you may be forced to use the available widgets and you cannot install any third party widgets of your own.

3. Maintenance of regular backups especially for your database will be possible in self blog hosting. Free blogs do not offer database back-up.

Most blog hosts out there do not let the blogger have the freedom of doing what they want with their blogs. Self hosting blogs have more freedom than these other blog hosting companies.
