I had originally posted an entry on my blog that was self-hosted on a server that I built in the Amazon EC2 cloud, but I decided to host the site with a hosting service instead. I decided this because the cloud service had already racked up $2.68 for the first 3 days of December. When I originally set up the server, I thought that the service would be free for the first year. I must have already used up my first free year, though.
