Since I am a blogger that likes to blog about "How to make money from home", and "How to save money on online deals", I always wonder what is the best hosting website for me, free hosting or paid hosting?

I have been with Weebly which is a free hosting website since 2008 and never experience any problems with them and their hosting. 

While Google searching other bloggers' blogs, I noticed a lot of them used paid hosting with a Wordpress plug in.  The blogs look neat and professional and I would love to have my blog look like theirs.

I went onto WAHM forum and wanted to ask other bloggers' opinions about free hosting and paid hosting and which one would be better for me.  All of them besides one said that paid hosting is best and here is why:
  • You own your website/blog
  • Paid Hosting is cheap
  • Free Hosting can shut down your website/blog any time and I can lose all my work I done and lose money I make from my blog
  • Some free hosting website do not allow affiliate links and can shut down my website/blog
 
One person said that with paid hosting it does come with headaches of setting up which can be time consuming!


So what do you all think? 

Should I choose a Paid Hosting website for my website/blog or stick with what I have since I do not have any problems with Weebly?

What are good Paid Hosting websites?

If I choose to go with a Paid Hosting website, how do I transfer all my stuff from my free hosting website to paid hosting website?

Thanks for reading and please comment below!

I think you should choose paid hosting just to be on the safe side so you don't have to worry about losing your website. Also a great hosting site to use is Hostgator. Its cheap and easy to use. Good luck with your decision. By the way I love your blog! Keep up the good work!

A lot of people swear by Hostgator. I really need to look into that hosting company. I just dread transfering all my stuff from Weebly to Hostgator. Thanks for the nice compliment about my blog!

Hostgator is a great company to choose. I would have to agree for blogs, if your looking for a website I would try Godaddy...

Thanks for the information Juan. I decided to stick with Weebly and start using their paid services since I have been happy with their website builder.
