Dangers Of Blogging Services
So you want to start a blog at a free blog hosting service. If this is for personal use, go right ahead. If it is for business, think twice. Why? Because these free blog hosting services can suspend your blog for any policy they deem you violated.
I have seen bloggers who are very savvy marketers get their blogs suspended. One recent incident was a case where a certain blogger was being accused of being a scammer and the people who were accusing him were anonymous trolls on many anti-scam and money making forums. When he hired a private investigator to find out who they were and was able to receive the info he wanted, he published their data on his blog. This was a no, no. His blog was pulled.
If he had done this on his own blog, hosted on his own domain name, at a paid hosting service, as it should be, this would not have been a problem.
The real loss here is the years of blogging on that particular blog and the traffic that comes with that history. All that Google, Yahoo!, and Bing traffic, gone, just like that, this includes the browser bookmarks by many of his regular readers.
There have been cases, as well, when a hosting service no longer wants, or can’t, host your site or sites, fine. That can happen. No big deal. So you look for hosting elsewhere (there are never a lack of hosting service companies) and take your domain name with you, upload your blog again with all your posts, and you are back in business.
And nothing makes you look more professional than when you host your network marketing business on your own domain. In business, perception is reality. Set yourself up like you mean business!
A domain name is cheap, it could cost you as little as $8 a year and a great hosting service as little as $2.99 a month!

This very blog is hosted with them and they offer “remote MySQL databases powered by 24-core 64-bit servers,” it’s among the many features that sets them apart.
