21Publish launched
21Publish is a weblog hosting business aimed at groups of people (small/medium companies, clubs, universities etc.) that want to set up their own hosted weblog systems. Monthly prices start from around 9 € and you can have your own domain, own layout etc. While it's way to early to comment on the success of business models like this one, I would be wary of the fact that "traditional" blog hosting companies (Typepad, Blogger) can copy this idea pretty easily.
A couple of things on the features page caught my eye: No mention of Atom support and RSS subscriptions limited to 20 (what does that mean?). A few of the features are listed as being "optional" - but it's not really clear what that means exactly. At the moment the system is free - and pricing will start at 8.95€ from April. Interestingly enough, if you want to use your blog for commercial purposes they add another 4$ to the monthly price.
