The safest really is to have it at home just in case the hosting company goes under - your blog goes with it. Now that your hosting your own blog - you have a bit more control on the plugin you use. I suggest you look into <a href="http://www.ilfilosofo.com/blog/wp-db-backup/" rel="nofollow">wp-db-backup</a> plugin and start a regular back up of your wordpress database. You can even email the backup to yourself (I do it every week). Don't worry if you do not know how to restore it. It's easier to find someone who can, if the need arises (hint: me :-) ). Warning though - this plugin does not backup your upload directory - this is important if you do a lot of images/multimedia uploads for your blog. Another must have plugin (in fact it comes with WP install) is the Akismet. It filters a lot of spam comments and track backs.
