Thinking about other hostings

As much as I enjoy the simplicity of WordPress.com, I’m limited by what I can get for free. Especially when it comes to themes and custom widgets. So my question is: What are the pros and cons of going to a hosted weblog as opposed to staying on WordPress.com. I mean, other than cost, of course.

  1. You know, I’m on the fence about this myself. The widgets are a big plus for the self-hosted side (I am envious of the “armory” sidebars that everyone has) plus the coolness of your own domain. Um… bigger storage, but I doubt you have a problem with that. Themes are a biggie too.

    I guess I can’t really think of cons other than cost for self-hosted sites. Besides needing to know what you’re doing so you don’t break anything. wp.com is pretty foolproof.

    I hope you get more constructive comments :)
