Deep advised me to stay away from MT...
Also MT has stopped providing shared hosting...and their current hosting packages are too expensive...

@Ankur:
I know... he had a bad experience with (mt). I had a talk with him quite a few months back on this.
And their current cheapest plan is $20/month which is cheaper than most VPSs

I too have read negative feedbacks regarding MediaTemple lately Just stay away with any big hosts offering massive packages since they pack too many users on one server and are the first one to kick of due to "overusage"

They charge you based on actually how much you use. And have a good reputation too.

Because with Self Hosted blog, you can customize it to the max aswell as add more to your website rather than just a blog

I could never use a ready made blogging platform. They are too limiting. With self hosted you are free to do whatever you want to do. You cna install any theme, any plugin, make any modification.

Ahh.. all this has confused me even further...
I've the following options:
1. Shared Hosting:
Ankur, Ravi seems to advocate this.
I also would like to go for this as it's cheap and I don't have to manage VPS stuffs.
2. Clustered Hosting
$20 budget of MT is something I don't want to spend as I myself don't earn that much...
Hosting Zoom's $8 seems to be a good option, if it's good and can handle my resources.
3. VPS
Last option but I've no other option. SliceHost offer $20 VPS but it might not managed. Or I can go for MT in that case...
What you guys think?

1. Ankur did suggest you Dreamhost or Hostgator, and you know what happens with Dreamhost, you are currently with them
Same applies for Hostgator.See, the point is that no good host will allow you to exhaust his CPU resources for a Few $$$. He wont be listening other clients complains for just one account.
2. No offence, I dont know, why you got an idea that Clustered Hosting will save it. Its same thing just like Shared.....another one of Marketing Strategy
3. I have never heard of SliceHost. There are far far best VPS provides and SliceHost i have never come across. Some of the Popular one's
*knownhost.com/services/vps.html
*www.jaguarpc.com/vps-hosting/
*futurehosting.biz/
www.cheapvps.co.uk
*zone.net/ (very Expensive though)

I am using xelhosting.com VPS for my personal sites, since last 2 years. I was also kicked out by many host when my 1 site has grown and start getting 2-3 thousands visitors per day.
They provide directadmin for control panel, morover their VPS are xen based instead of virtuazzo, which is more efficient.
You can also take a look on their VPS plans, they are all self manged.

On the Conclusion i can add - If you go for Shared hosting, your account should be in within FAIR USAGE Policy. Now what is Fair Usage ? It doesnt have any fixed Definition. They can suspend it when they like to, just like it is now.
VPS - With VPS, you are getting *Guaranteed Resources*. You cannot be suspended for Resource Abuse. Only thing difficult here is maintaining but i can assure you it is not that difficult

paid hosting can give you much better service than free.
Blogspot is good option for blogging..and good things is that..U can change xxx.blogspot.com into yourdomain.com
For this you need DNS control of your domain name.

But what happens wen no of visitors increases as drgrudge is facing now?,
Blogspot can easily handle all these increasing visitors for free isn't??
How to change to "yourdomain.com"?

To change it to your domain yöü have am option in dashboard itself...easy.
Ya as he said, i am actually running two blog's one in x10hosting free..and another in blogspot free..
What the diff is x10hosting cant handle traffic spike at some times and suspends my account for say 15 minutes by that important traffic users are lost for me.this is in case when i submit it in digg..since coz of it i loose many DIGG'S for my article but on the other end i am very satisfied with blogspot as it handle all , virtually all traffic with ease..enough for new users..
Ok is there a way to backup all the database in blogspot.? In case i need to shift to paid hosting...

Ravi my friend is actually delaying that payment to yöü as i am stuck with exams.virtually i cant move...to do these stuff.i am very sorry dude...
