This is very true, however, we run the same risks if we choose the wrong paid webhost. Their site could fail. They could be uncaring, or incompetent, or dishonest. Tools and services they provide could be unreliable, or withdrawn. The only CERTAINTY with many paid webhosts is: Miss a payment or two and you lose everything. Nibblebit is the right choice for me because: I recently became disabled. Soc. Sec. Disability is my only source of income. Newly disabled people are ineligible for Medicare during the first two years of their disability. An extra monthly expense (of any size) is a luxury I cannot afford. One final thought: I have hand selected nearly 1000 videos and scheduled them to post to my blog every day or two from now until the end of 2014. I wonder how much a paid site would charge me to do that?
