For a while now I've been contemplating of moving my blog which currently resides at Today(dot)com to it's own domain and own web hosting. My other blogs are currently hosted by Blogger, which I love, but I know for my entertainment or fashion blog, I would need a hosting plan that would give me unlimited storage, unlimited bandwidth as well as the use of subdomains which Blogger certainly does not offer.

The plan to move to a Wordpress blog and purchase a webhosting plan that suits all my needs has been made for a few months now but I just haven't found the perfect plan until now. Even my blogging buddy LadyJava has made the move already.

The main reason why I need to move out from Today(dot)com is due to the fact that I don't have freedom of editing my posts and no freedom of putting up ads or even simple widgets that contain ads. You must be wondering why I hosted my blog with them, huh?

Well, in the beginning, those who signed up with a VIP blogger account will get a compensation of $1 per post (limited to 1 post a day), on top of being paid for traffic hits. Then eventually, they stopped paying the $1 per post and just paid for traffic. Currently, even that is pulled to a stop. So now you can only earn 50% of the Google adsense earnings..

It's not that I think it's all about the money but the fact that I'm earning a pittance coupled with no freedom to edit my own posts a week after it's published, or putting up my favorite widgets, it just simply is not worth it. Some of my friends at Today(dot)com like Bill and Debbie have also moved to blog on their own domain as well. Which I have to say is a really good move.

I would definitely make the leap to move my entertainment and fashion blog but with all the things going on in my life and everything else in between, I'm not sure I have the time at this moment. One thing's for sure, though, I am SOOOO EXCITED at the thought of getting my web hosting plan and move ASAP!
