Use your own dowmain for the real important stuff whose ownership you want to retain. I’d say, use free blogsites for “throwaway” sites , such as those used for affiliate marketing.

I have a number of blogspot blogs. Two of them have their own domain names (inc. the one above). I have just registered another domain name - FinancialMites.com - and I intend creating a financial blog of the same name using Wordpress. The two blogs (sharescity and financialmites) shall deal with the same sector, but one will be with blogger the other with Wordpress, so I shall see what the differences are between the two. Next question is - who is a good hosting service and as I am in the UK does it make sense to get a UK service or does it not make any difference? Vic Well, I’m just about to start an experiment.

I have a little bit of cash flow coming in now thanks to ReviewMe and Smorty, so hopefully I'll make enough to make the transition next month. Me being willing to put the work into learning to code and do html isn't the problem, but I do think it will take me some time to work the kinks out. Things like that don't come to me quickly, which is why I've been hesitant. Blogger feels safe because it's just so easy. Jeremy's Consumer's Corner will be hosted and Wordpressed at some point in the near future though, of that I'm determined. I’m moving that direction….

I've recently switched to self hosted Wordpress, and I really regret that I hadn't done that in the beginning. The biggest mistake I made was getting using a free service (Blogger).

Blogger has an easy option to redirect all of your traffic to the new domain. You could do that, but you will have a lot more flexibility if you switch to WordPress!

I've considered this, and that's why I'm asking. I've invested considerable time into marketing my site (hosted on blogger). I'm not so big I can't get out, but I have been ranked by google and get frequent hits from them. The idea of starting from scratch is not something I particularly look forward to.
