You can store it at Bitcoin Wallet, Blockchain for the safest. And I will suggest that create many wallet if you have a large amount of bitcoin for Protection for hackers. If not one wallet is enough. Store your bitcoins at your wallet and don't share it for anyone for you and your money to be safe.
yes not only blockchain, but yobit and xapo are also trusted wallets where you can store your bicoin , but i think the important thing is that you should not keep your bitoin in one place, because if you are keeping them in one place in a big amount then you are increasing the risk of stealing your bitcoins.

You are right its not really safe to store bitcoins on exchange wallets and as you said possibilities of getting hacked is there and the risk of losing our hard earned bitcoin is there also.I would like really like to suggest to store bitcoin on hardware wallets because you do have the full control on it as long you posses the private keys the security would really be more secure.

Blockchain is not a wallet, it's a system which is used by bitcoin and i would recommend you to learn first : http://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/blockchain.aspbut if you are reffering to blockchain.info then i will point out that it's not the safest option because it's basically online wallet which make your private key saved in their database so your private key is not secret anymore, i'm myself will recommend sort of desktop wallet or even hardware wallet
Paper wallets aren't supposed to be used after you have spent the coins from it. The best way is to just spend a paperwallet and then create new one to receive new coins in. It's probably for the best to print a bunch of private keys at once.
What I would suggest for the OP is either a paper wallet (given you know how to properly store them) or simply a Trezor or other hardware wallet. With paper wallets you would have to be extremely careful though. They are only safe if handled right.

I have less than 10 in localbitcoins and about 5 each on BTCC and their justpay wallet.
I don't trade actively, just buying around 1 coin every week or two since a few months ago.
Should I be considering some secured wallet?
If you are just purely buying bitcoin every week and dont have intention on trading or investing it then you must really purchase some hardware wallet so that your bitcoin would be safe and it on all of your control and you should not put it on web wallets because its too risky because you didnt posses the private key.I don't trade actively, just buying around 1 coin every week or two since a few months ago.
Should I be considering some secured wallet?
Currently I am using online wallets like Xapo and Coinbase, I feel better with them as they have a SMS verification when someone tries to log on from a different IP.
I'm thinking mostly along these lines myself
If you you want a bulletproof method of storing bitcoins and have quite a few of them (which would justify using this method), create a totally offline wallet, encrypt the private key with a password, then print out a few copies and after that save them in different places (a bank deposit box and home safe would be the best choice). If you need your coins on a pretty regular basis, for example, for trading, store some amount in a web wallet with an SMS verification, thereby rendering yourself invulnerable to any variety of viruses, trojans or key-loggers that may infest your desktop computer

of course, you should be considering a secured wallet because you are having a huge amount of bitcoin . if you are looking for highly secured wallet then web wallets can't be recommended for you, maybe you should install a hard wallet to your pc and make sure you won't be attacked by a botnet or any malware . I guess installing a hard wallet on Linux OS especially Tails OS is the best .

yes that is right, i also will suggest you have more than one wallet if you have some good amount of bitcoin, because keeping them all in one wallet is more risky, because hacker can hack your wallet and can take your money, therefore you need to be carefull.
Having more than one wallet is not enough. Having more than one wallet and then having the same password in all of them would be pointless. Once one of your wallet gets hacked, all of your wallets will be hacked. You're more prone to get hacked then. You should have different complicated passwords as well and then 2FA on each account. Unless your PC or your phone has virus, you will not get hacked. Some people suggest using paper wallet, you should check that out. I think that's more secure than using an online wallet. i think you can store you bitcoin in many wallet because there is hacking problem if you store your all bitcoin in one wallet so anyone will be hack your all bitcoin from one wallet so i prefer that store your bitcoin in many wallet is much more good than one wallet then you will be never lost your all bitcoin.
But if all your bitcoin in one wallet only few btc even if less than one bitcoin, maybe the hackers will interest with your wallet and hack your wallet is gratuitous. But no problem divide your bitcoin in to few wallet for security is great idea, moreover make some wallet address is free you need double email.
there is many way to store your bitcoin but i prefer that blockchain because blockchain is very much safe and secure wallet and there is maximum people store their bitcoin so you can store your bitcoin in blockchain and blockchain is very much easy than other wallet.
yes there is no doubt about this, but i think Xapo is also one of the most secure and trusted online wallet, they give you some extra security, its transaction fee is almost negligible, i am using it for years and always found it trusted. 
Store your bitcoins on paper wallets and put them on a water proof plastic bags then put it a safest place you know so you will be able to sleep in night. Don't store your bitcoins on any online sites because they are not fully trusted and there is always a risk of getting hacked of your account so if i were i will just put them on a paper wallet or hardware wallet then i will put them in a safe place.
When you do this, make sure you do not create your paper wallet through one of those online paper wallet creator services. They could be saving your private keys and you could end up losing all of your coins at any given time. For creating a secure paper wallet, check this page:
