Starting out on shared hosting is okay but don’t force yourself to keep it. It’s true that shared hosting is much more affordable but it puts you at the mercy both of the other site owners who share your server and the host itself. If something they do causes the server to malfunction your site will go down as well. So, while it is a good and cheap option when you are first starting out (there are some really great shared hosting providers out there), as soon as your blog starts to bring in revenue, invest in a dedicated server. Your site and your readers will be better off for it.
