No problems, and they're good about sending advance notice of planned maintenance (which never seems to last more than an hour, and is done late at night or early in the morning). countertop: I use Westhost.com.

Odd that so many other people have. I’ve never had a major, or even minor problem with Blogspot. Odd that so many other people have.

They are about $6/month. Not as much storage as Les, but they aren't bad. I've had one case where the server's perl engine died for about 24 hours. Also, one case where a server crashed and they lost a months worth of data due to bad backup policy. Though for what your getting its not bad. I’m using a company called omnis.

I did the Blogspot thing when I started, and was happy to pay for better hosting and better blogging software. I only pay $9/month for 600 MB of storage space. Same here.

I think it's worth it as I had many problems on blogger. It's money well spent, as far as i'm concerned. I’m a control freak so I prefer to have my own domain and all that.

Sure, they're down occasionally but it's hardly noticeable. I have no problems posting 99.9% of the time. I have a free graphics hosting site I use for pictures. Of course, you have a domain name but that's no more that $20-30/year, depending on where you reserve it. Is the extended functionality you have on this site (categories, etc) worth the expense?
