Free hosts are great, especially if you are doing short term blogs during a vacation for example. The thing is though, that if you are doing multiple short term blogs per year, I suggest that you look for a paid host where you can have full control and ownership of your content. With the paid blog hosts, it is important to find the best blog host available, to avoid losing your money, and getting poor service for it.

The top hosts online come with 100% customer satisfaction, and even their low under $10 a month price covers unlimited disc space, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited add on domains and unlimited subdomains. That way you can keep your personal log on one domain or subdomain, and when you go on a holiday and want to keep people updated on what you are doing, you can use a subdomain or another domain to pass to your friends and relatives.

With those free hosts you will not get much customer service. Web servers are computers just like the one you are reading this post on, and they do crash from time to time. With free hosts this would mean that you might be out of a blog after they are able to recover the server, or you just might have a really long down time. With the best blog hosts available, you will get 24/7 customer service, and 100% uptime guarantee – they will switch to a backup server in case of a crash -  but also you will get daily backups of your account, which means you will not lose the data in case of a hard drive failure. On the top of this you can have the backups sent to your e-mail account and making a double on your own computer – you can never know what happens, and for example in case of a natural disaster you will still have your backups to use.
