Choosing Blogging Software To Run On Your Own Server

Some people opt for running the blogging software / platform on their own server.
Listed below are some benefits and disadvantages of doing so..

Benefits:

More security. You don't have to give out your FTP details or password. Your blog's accessibility is dependent only on your server, not the remote hosting service's.

Disadvantages:

You need to have some basic knowledge about installing blogging software and scripts on your own server and troubleshooting problems. It requires some knowledge of changing directory access permissions, and other basic script installation techniques. Most of the blog software creators run helpful online forums and discussion groups to help out with problems.

If you are a bit of a technical geek, I would suggest to go with your own blogging arrangements (in other words, use your own server)
