Switching Blogger
Hi all!
First of all, this is my 100'th post on this blog! (applause please).
Second, with this post I understood that I've probably overgrown the Blogger's platform, and need a better one. More stand-alone, more of my choice :-)
So, now I'm in blogging platform search. I am looking for the following:
- Software platform - should I get something online or should I install my own?
- Hardware - depends on 1) - should I use co-location service, virtual or my own server?
- What's is the best price/performance possible way to do it? (by performance I would probably mean allowed traffic).

I am using wordpress on my own host, having my extensions up and running...
Maybe worth having a look?
Seems nice.
What are the costs of running it? Which bandwidth do you get?
I use my own wordpress, too, it's not perfect but gets the job done.
You can either use one of the preinstalled services (wordpress.com for example) or rent some cheap webspace with php and mysql to get it up and running.
I run wordpress on a (Gentoo) virtual server at bytemark.co.uk.
Starts at £15/month for root access to a UML instance - easily capable of hosting a blog or two. I've had mine survive a slashdot and digg frontpage.
Probably more expensive than straight web hosting, but way more flexible.
