Yup, might try and move the site today - that's if I can get it off out of 000webhost, that is. Would stay there but virtual webroot path + lousy email mean it's time to move on.

Wordpress hosted sites are OK for some users - maybe people who think they will never move, or people with a blog promoting their main site.

There are problems with restrictions though. I heard you can't use your own choice of plugins and so on. That would be no good, all DB-driven sites function 50% with plugins now. For example on WP I would want to use the Platinum SEO Pack, don't know if I could run without that.

But the big negative for me is the fact you own nothing, it's all on someone else's site. To me, subdomain sites are a total waste of time. OK for family home pages etc, but not for any kind of site where you will invest any time or money. What's the point? Get a cheap domain and a free host, surely that is 10 times better. Or a good domain and a good host, another factor-10 improvement. Depends on how you value your site, subdomain sites are disposable.

You can buy a real domain for 99cents, and get free hosting. No contest. I can't recommend a .info domain etc, but even that's better than a subdomain.
