   Self hosted blogs are better than free blogs because it’s more flexible, you can do whatever you want to do and the only limitation is your CPU usage (RAM) and bandwidth. In contrast to free blogs, their only advantage is free RAM and bandwidth, but you’ll never know when you’ll be banned or be deleted without prior notice.

   Based on my experience, if you have more than 50,000 UVs in 1 day, your blog will be automatically tagged as a spam blog on blogger. So beware, you can’t blog for almost a month or forever (if not unlocked) because your blog will be locked and you don’t have a control over it. Lucky for you if you have your own domain hosted in blogspot, you can freely move to a new host and import your old post. But, if you don’t have your own domain, say goodbye to your blog.

   I prefer self hosted blog due to the fact the you can do anything you want to it without worry if you violated any terms or services for that matter.

   Monetizing wise and controllability wise. but am not totally disregarding free blog because they also give traffic and decent income. Like what my seo experiment blog.

   I like two of them, and use two of them. I agree with Jehzeel Laurente : self hosted blog more flexible and we can do what we want.

   And with free hosted blog we (I always do this) can make dummy blog, to support my self hosted blog to gain more backlink

   @ Ann roxas,

   I think if you’re site will be receiving 50,000 UV a day.. You have to think twice..
