Need more reasons to host with Dragonfly Domains?

10 Reasons why you should host your own blog on your own domain and server space.

1. Gain more Respect
If you have a free hosted blog, people would think that you are just dabbling in blogging. You probably just want to use your' blog to pass time instead of staying idle doing nothing. But if you have a self hosted blog, people would know that you are a serious blogger and you have a passion for blogging.

2. Encourage Commenting
Commenting on blogspot and other free blog hosts can be a pain at times. You cannot enter your email address to receive your comment replies by email. If you run your blog on your own domain, you can require registration if you like, queue comments for approval before they post, watch IP numbers of comments and ban abusive commenters and enjoy many other advantages.

3. Multiple Email accounts
Depending on the Hosting Plan you choose, you can have up to 30 email accounts with unlimited forwarding. If you run a group blog, every co-blogger who writes on your blog can have their own email, custom branded with your domain, forwarded to their primary email account so they can keep their main email address private and avoid spam and internet stalkers.

4. Get Affiliate program approval
Affiliate programs like Azoogle, Sharesale requires you to have a website to be accepted into the program. Sharesale wants a proof that you have a website by requiring you to register with your website email address i.e. username@yoursite.com.

5. Include other scripts
On a self hosted blog, you can also include a forum on your blog to be interactive with your readers. You can also include an Dragon Domains eStore on your blog to sell items.

6. Advertising Credit
On your own server, you can qualify for free Google Adwords, Yahoo search and MSN adcenter credit to promote your blog.

7. Ability to Backup your blog
You have the ability to back up your blog and store it in your email address or on your computer. It would be devastating if you lose all your blog posts because your free hosting company went out of business. The internet is rife with horror stories from broken bloggers who lost everything they ever wrote, years of work, in one day.

8. Better SEO (Wordpress)
You can use plugins to SEO your blog. We recommend plugins like All-in-One SEO to optimize each post, link checkers like Xenu to check for dead links and other optimization tools to make sure your blog ranks up with the big boys. More traffic means more readers for your posts and more ad revenue if you use advertising.

9. Unlimited Amount of Pages (Wordpress)
You can also add unlimited amount of pages on wordpress as long as the allocated bandwidth from your Hosting Plan permits it. This is good especially if you want to chronicle about a topic. So you will have www.yoursblog.com/chronicle1/chronicle2/……chronicle end/

10. Selling Rights
After blogging for a while and you are tired or you have an emergency, you can sell your blog. On a free hosted blog, you have the ownership rights to the post only. The domain doesn't belong to you. It belongs to the free host. But on a self hosted blog, you have the' ownership rights of the blog which includes the domain and the post. Sell your blog, earn money, and use the money how it suits you.
