One of the most important thing in a blogger's life is the domain or subdomain on which he blogs and the hosting account where his blog is situated. Like this blog is situated on blogger and hosted on Google's IP address. Many are looking out for multiple IP and dedicated hosting for their blogs.

Some of the examples I would love to take are John Chow , he has his blog hosted on a dedicated server which handles his all traffic and even when his article gets dugged or Stumbled his server manages to keep hangings while our's which is a shared one would not even survive a traffic of ove 1000 peopled daily.

This blog on blogger can certainly take all the traffic and be stable because it is hosted on Google's servers which are present around the world. If you are a beginner then I would suggest to start from scratch by building links to his site and getting a pagerank.
