I have been using Wordpress for a few years now, thanks to Blogger.com. I now host my 30 or so blogs in a Wordpress platform and host them over 8 different IP addresses.

Why Did I Switch From Blogger.com To Hosting My Own Wordpress Blogs?

At the time I didn’t blog every day, sometimes I would go a week without blogging so when I went to my blog to add content and found it suspended without even getting an email, well I was a tad upset to say the least.

I blog about things like travel, fishing, and gardening so there should have been no reason I would be shut down. Heck I don’t even use swear words. I could believe they had shut me down, without notice, just because someone complained about my site.

It wasn’t so much the fact the blog was suspended, although that really did get under my skin, but it was more the message they left me. They asked me if I wanted to have a human moderator check the site. Well DUH!! I think that would go without saying and should have been done instead of shutting me down.

They checked my site, I think it took a couple more days, and found absolutely nothing wrong with it, so on someone else’s say so they just shut me down and waited for me to find out about it. Boooo

Like I said at the start of this post, I have been running Wordpress blogs for a few years now and have had no issues with them at all. BTW: I have never had a hosting service shut me down or suspend any of my accounts.

Wordpress Blogs Rock

Looking back I really have to thank Blogger.com for suspending my account needlessly, which kind of forced me re-think where I was hosting my blogs as it could have happened again and again without any control from myself.

When I pictured the image of my income stopping over-night I broke out into a cold sweat and decided it was time to look for something else and Wordpress was my choice.
