Shared Hosting vs Blog Hosting?

[stool]

What are the actual pluses of choosing a blog hosting plan over going for a shared hosting plan and installing a blog application on it?
I'm talking a blog hosting similar to this offered in Downtownhost.com deals

All depends on your purposes. If you want to host a blog, use blog hosting. I think WordPress is the best choice here. Say ServerPoint.com offers nice WordPress hosting with FREE WordPress installation, Great web hosting features, WordPress optimized servers, etc.
