   What type of installation is good?
   Manual installation OR self hosted blog installation?

   I prefer to do all of my installations manually. This way, you can get the latest version and you don't get the 'default' settings which hosts usually set up.

   But both will work... I just depends on your level of expertise and if you want to go through the extra steps required by a manual install.

   I agree with the above. If you have the know how, installing it yourself will undoubedly make it easier to troubleshoot in the future. Allowing a script to install leaves to many unknown variables for me.

   I am not a programmer :) so I don't know much about scripts. BUT I can do manual installation as well by visiting the installation guide.

   Will it be any benefit/loss when I move my host later?

   Thanks for help!

   It really depends on the script that installs it I guess. I don't know that there would be a sure advantage to one over the other, but if I had to guess, I would say the advantage would be probably be with the self installed... no real reason though.
