Tinh,

Sorry your comment had gone to spam queue! Not anyone can get a premium account on wp.com; it is only for VIP blogs and not everyone can get it (only those with millions of page views are eligible).

Yes there are reliable hosts; Justhost is not a good host FYI. See the article on web hosting linked here to know more.

If you do not want to switch toi wp.org, that is easy, pay to get premium account and you are free to tweak on wp.com as wp.org. There are a lot of reliable hosting out there like hostgator, justhost…

Nita,

I hope someday you will shift to wp.org. Your blog has a huge monetary potential. You are actually doing a service to the free wp community because it is high-traffic blogs like yours that bring a lot of revenue to WP which keeps things free.

You have just given the reasons why I have not shifted! I guess you need the time to do all the self hosting and right now I don’t have it. A lot of people have tried to persuade me and I have had long conversations with them but I am glad I have not done it. Even on my blogger blog it is simply a custom domain, redirected so I don’t have to bother with tech issues. Its not that I don’t want to learn about tech issues. But my baby steps and what I need to learn to self host are two different things.

I guess I’m into techie challenges, which is why I would rather shift than stay on such a limiting platform. But for those who would rather not mess with all the backend work and are ok with the limited templates, cost to add any customization, and other lack of functionality compared to the full version, I’d say stick with the WordPress.com. (Although I’m actually a little more of a fan of Blogger over WordPress when it comes to the non self-hosted options).
