Should I buy my own domain or go for a free host? by Daniel Scocco

It depends on your current situation and objectives. If you are just starting out with blogs and want to learn your way around first, then starting with a hosted solution like Blogger or WordPress.com could be a good idea. You will not need to spend any money, and the service will take care of the basic tasks (e.g., hosting, design).

The same thing can be said if your objective is just to have fun and share your ideas and thoughts with friends and family. In that case having a hosted (and free) solution is probably the one that will give you fewer headaches.

If you already know the basics of blogging and want to take it to the next level, or if you have the objective of making your blog popular either to make money with it or to leverage another business around it, then you must buy your own domain name and host it with a CMS solution (WordPress.org being the most popular one).
