How many of you host your websites on paid hosting servers?

Currently I have no blogs. But I had. I selected blogspot for creating blog. I and some of my friends have recently created a website. That is forum basis. I think paid hosting is better that free hosting.

I pay for my hosting. I have a wonderful web host. The cost is about average and I get really professional service. I have always felt it is better to have your own domain. You have total control over your websites appearance. You also can upgrade as your website grows. The other benefit is that you look more professional.

currently, I have 2-3 blogs running on free hosts...actually Post 2 Host.
