What are the Pros/Cons of remote hosted blog software?

If you want to become an expert at blogs, you need to keep learning. Updating your knowledge. Refreshing your information. Staying on the cutting edge. This short article will help you stay ahead of the curve.

Benefits: No problems or hassles related to installing blog software or scripts on your server and troubleshooting problems. You don't even need to have your own domain name or web hosting service if you plan to host the blog on the remote service itself.

Disadvantages: The remote hosting service might get taken down for maintenance or other issues at an inconvenient time. Or if traffic is very heavy on the service, you may face delays or periods of inaccessibility to your blog for updating it. This is more likely if you host it on a free service.

If you're hosting your blog on your own domain, you have to disclose administrative details about your website (like your FTP account username and password) in order that your blog posts can be uploaded to your server.
