If you're paying a third party to host your website, how is this
different from paying someone to publish your writing in a newspaper
or magazine as an advertisement?  In both cases you are paying money
to someone to make your writing available for the rest of the world to
read.

Or is it only okay to speak if someone else absorbs the cost of
publishing, for instance on a blogspot blog that you don't pay for? 
No matter what, someone is paying the bills for bandwidth and server
space.
