There are many advantages to choosing WordPress.com for your WordPress hosting  rather than finding somewhere to install your own. WordPress.com is the free version and is constantly being updated so that you can receive the best free form of online hosting as possible. All these updates are done automatically and within the online system so you do not need to do them on your own computer. You will not even realize that most of them have happened.

Your blog is also backed up automatically, which will help with any system crashes or server problems. Because you cannot save your blogs onto your own computer and make updates through your own computer, it is very important that the updates are backed up somewhere so that updates are not lost.

It is also possible that your blog will attract a number of visitors – especially if it is very well worded with search engine optimization. This can cause problems if a lot of people are trying to access your blog but WordPress is able to deal with the pressure on the server.

Linux hosting  can be extremely painful for the uninitiated. Although there are many help forums available online to work through the problems, the other vendors have made their operating systems and web servers much easier to use than Linux OS. As a result, market surveys indicate that Linux hosting is losing its market share over hosting services provided by other vendors. Clearly, there is a lot of catching up for Linux to do. Not all is lost though. The Linux hosting vendor should understand that the difficulty of hosting Linux based services could be a bonus point for his business, as he will not face the same competition as he would face with vendors of other OS hosting services. Even with Linux as most people know, there are many flavors and choosing the right flavor for the right job might be the key to the success of the business. Once a vendor understands, one flavor it is not very difficult for the vendor to understand other flavors of Linux and expand their business to other Linux like OS but the first step could be a steep learning curve.
