Hello, without much delay, let me quickly share with you 4 shocking things about building your blog or website on hosted www..
.
#1 - Search Engines Will Hate You!
.
Your blog won't rank in search engines no matter how GOOD your posts are. The reason is because search engines (like Google) don't crawl sites built on hosted www..
.
#2 - You Can't Use Google Adsense
.
The main point here is that you can't view the source code of your blog that is running on hosted www. And if you can't view it, how then do you paste your Google Adsense ID?
.
#3 - Your Blog Won't Be Yours!
.
Imagine a set of people using your blog out of your approval. Now, before a new version of self-hosted www.wordpress.org is released, developers use all sites running on hosted www. to beta test new features. Too bad...
.
#4 - You Can't Fully Customize Your Blog
.
This one is clear. gives you limited power!
.
Goodluck...

Funny but true... :p

Most of your points are INVALID!

1. Google and other search engines does crawl sites without any issue.

2. Your second point in a very funny one, how can you say you can't use ad codes. That's why you have widgets and plugins to insert ads.

3. You might have a point here, but the truth is, you can always move your site anytime to a self host with the help of plugins.

4. This is the only VALID point you made. The limitations.

I pity your points!
1. Show me a hosted wordpress blog or site that ranks well in google and I will show you one that is struggling extra HARD for optimization.
.
2. I never mentioned [any] other "ads", I only said You Can't Use Google Adsense. Show me a hosted wordpress site that displays Google's own ads, and I will stop using NairaLand!
.
3. My post never talked about migration! I focused mainly on the downsides of .
.
4. Valid or invalid to YOU, everything here is based on my experience.

Hello KingDELE, I wasn't referring to Wordpress as a whole. There two versions of Wordpress:
.
1. www. and
2. www.WordPress.Org
.
1. With the first version (www.), even your little bro can come up with a website or blog within minutes. That version of wordpress curtails the complexity of creating sites because the hosting and installation will be done for you. But then, it comes with the above listed limitations.
.
2. On the contrary, it will take some training for you to build a blog/site using the second version of WordPress (www.wordpress.org). Here, you'll be doing the hosting and installation of your site. This requires some technical skills, but then, after successfully building your blog on this second version of Wordpress, only the sky will limit you. Goodluck!
