While this site uses a free hosting service, I have several other blogs that use a paid web hosting system. It was a learning experience in which I made mistakes that are hard to recover from in first exploring the whole managed hosting system.
I learned the hard way that I should have gone with a company that offered experienced technical support. I've lost track of the hours I've spent on the phone, being told that they can't see a problem or blaming the problem on Wordpress plug ins. Which at times can be a culprit, but not always...
I've actually considered having my own server, but I'm at a learning curve when it comes to that. I've learned a bit about colocation so that if that decision is one I opt for, it would provide a higher comfort level and tech support. So, my advice? The cheapest hosting plan is not always the best one, the level of tech support is key because the only thing more frustrating than having your website down, is to have tech support not able to help you get it back online...
