Blogs like blogspot , typepad and wordpress.com are examples of a hosted blog.
In this platform the blog is pre-hosted and is provided as a service.

• A hosted site makes it extremely easy for you to start a blog and see if you like it without spending a lot of money up front.
• Generally extremely user-friendly and fairly intuitive.
• Hosted sites also offer WYSIWIG editors.

• Customizing the Template : You will generally have less control of your HTML or CSS.
• Ads : WordPress.com does not allow advertising on your blog.
• SEO : There are platform limitations. For example, archiving can be less user-friendly; TypePad can have issues with comment spam and trackback spam.
• Less professional : Blogger blogs can appear to be less professional. This is a bias in the blogging community.

• You have control over all of your HTML and CSS.• You have control over permalinks. This means that
instead of the platform choosing the name of a post, you choose a name. This will help not only with managing permalinks, but with managing your SEO (or search engine optimization).
• There are many plug-ins for the WordPress.org platform that allow you to do everything from managing advertising to managing and responding to comments more efficiently.
• You have control over how your archives are managed.
