If you build all that on a blogging service, the blogging service effectively owns it. Whereas, if you build it on your own domain, YOU own it, and can transfer, sell, or redirect the domain and the traffic at any time. Why would you do all that work to build a site somebody else owns? Crazy.

Here endeth the lesson.
Short answer: The same reason people will use free hosting, either from a sponsor or a free hosting provider

The reasons are varied and numerous!

Nice place to post your 'Lesson' BTW..... I will be shaw to return the favor one day
