. . . . Is hosting a site with xara hosting better than using an alternative host . . . .

That depends on what your website features are going to expand in to in the future.

There are several things to consider:

Assuming you already have an existing site made with Web Designer.

You cannot use the Web Designer (WD) projects in any other web site creation software, which means:

If you are looking to have features such as for example a shop, then you would either be reliant on 3rd party sites to provide this.
Other features such as membership logins, or data driven pages that require PHP and MySQL are not possible in WD and, AFAIK, not supported on Xara hosting - I can find no reference to these.

. . . . I have my own domain would there be any problems keeping it or if i wished to transfer to another host would xara be good with this . . . .

There should be no issue with this, if it was registered through Xara then you would need to contact them.
