If you are really a frequent blogger, then yes, you should get a domain name yourself. It would surely inspire you to blog as often as possible. Aside from that, you can earn money by sharing what you think which will get people to be interested in your topics.

If you are a beginner, it is best if you rely of blog sites but time will really come when you are already an experienced blogger and you want to have a site that you can call your own. Somewhere you can freely express your thoughts through layouts, functionality, features, etc.

I am of a definite opinion that anyone if serious about having a blog should host with its own domain. Why ? Well its easier to change a service provider.

I remember few years back yahoo closed their photo hosting service just because it became out of fashion. Users had to literally download thousands of their photos from the website before it got deleted.

In case of free blog the service provider is gaining from all the advertisements placed on the pages. An avid blogger could host it on his own domain and make some money for himself which will be more than the free hosting space.

So do think again about the free services

If you are really serious it´s way better to have a real domain name that you own. I agree that free blog sites are good for testing niches or to make some new experiences for beginners. Maybe they are also useful for link buiolding if you know what you are doing…

I tend to agree with Sebastyne in that visitors feel more confident about the content as they know it is owned by a dedicated owner.
In some respects visitors who aren’t familiar with e-technology do get a sense of consistency with formal blog formats so I guess as far as face value it does depend on the visitor.

I personally like to have my own domain name because I can control it, but then I’m savvy enough to do this.

The good thing with hosting your own blog, is that you can add a little advertising without having to worry whether WordPress or Blogger(Google) decide to remove your blog as they are not in agreement with their advertising policy. That’s is why having your own domain name and hosting is best as you are in complete control.

Well, there is a benefit to having all blogs in folders on one domain. As the domain’s page rank grows, all blogs benefit. Each domain needs to grow its own page rank, which makes stuff x times harder based on how many names one has… Read the book “The Art of SEO” it’s published by O’Reilly Media.
