When I started blogging, I simply put up my blog under Blogger account. It was a very easy way to start own blog. But very soon I started to think of moving blog to own domain name. That’s because my blog target is to make money online and if I put up my blog with some of the free blog hosting services, the only one who benefits is the web hosting company. With your own domain you get more credibility as a blogger. And also with own domain name your address will be something like http://yourblog.com etc. you must admit that it sounds a lot better than for example http://yourblog.freebloghosting.com.
If you decided to monetize your blog with PayPerPost then it is almost a must to have your own domain. That is because all offers in PayPerPost are not available for example blogspot.com blogs. I checked 19 the most valuable offers (price range between $500-$15) and 10 of those excluded free hosting service blogs.
There is a lot of other benefits too and one major benefit is that you get your pages listed into search engines much easier. Because many search engines give a lot of emphasis to the home page of particular domain.
I bought my hosting service from AN Hosting. Their package is ideal for blogging in my mind. Check it out.

Owning a domain is really important if you are serious about your blog. I too started on blogspot until recently I shifted to own domain.
I purchased for 6.95$ per month, 250 GB storage, 6 TB data transfer. No set up fees and 15 sites in one account and unlimited email account.
