There are several sites that offer a free web hosting service to different blogging platforms. Each of these sites proudly tells us that their free hosting plans are comparable to that of a premium web hosting. Well at first you will be thrilled to sign up to these sites but you should make further analysis of the situation.
Let me tell you about my experience. I once had a WordPress Blog which is hosted in a free web-hosting site. Due to financial reason up until now, I can't still buy my own domain so I decided to host it for free. At first I was happy with the result but soon after couple of weeks, I always had an "error in connection" to the server. If I can get through it would take a couple of minutes for my site to load. Now this would be a problem because it's quite irritating already and too much time has been wasted. And the worst part, my site just got deleted for no reason at all. I tried contacting customer service but I did not receive a single reply from them. I decided to transfer to another free hosting site but it's still the same and I have noticed that it cripples the performance of WordPress especially not to be able to send ping to external websites. So if you're that eager to blog you can always use Blogger.com as a head-start.
