I wanted to answer your question yesturday but I didn't really understand what you are asking. But I think I get it now.
Yes of course you can host your own vlog. You don't need to use blogger. It's just recomended by Free Vlog because it's free. It's easier to use some form of blog software like Wordpress or Moveable type and such for a lot of different reasons. Mostly because your content is more easily updated, managed, archived and syndicated using a blogging system. I personally wouldn't want to try to maintain my blog without some kind of software running it behind the scenes. That would take way too much time and effort. I use Wordpress on a paid host. My host is Dreamhost. You can find a link to my vlog in my sig below.
