I have experience of free hosted blogs and I have used wordpress, blogspot and weebly. However, I am also thinking to launch a paid log. Share pros and cons of free blogs and paid blogs.

I really don't like the sound of free when it comes in matter of my website, as they always have some hidden demerits and if you ask me the i will always go for paid blogs.

Paid blog or host have better performance regarding speed of the site,greater no of files can be uploaded and other unlimited benefits. But if free hosting is performing good there is no need to buy paid one.

the great advantage with paid hosting is the freedom to do what you want, in addition, the blog site also get easily found by google and other search engines.

Since I have already decided to launch a website/blog by paying for host service, these answers from the commentators will surely help me. I understand the drawbacks of free hosted blog/website. However, for a beginner, paying for hosting srvice can break your back bone.

I have good experience with blogspot but wordpress is more popular and weebly is good though i have less idea about weebly, free blogs are good but paid blogs are better for sure

a beginner should go for a free blog and as one grows in terms of experience and audience, one should go for a paid blog.

This is a brilliant piece of advice. I began with three free blogs, and I learned a lot with them. If I had paid initially, I would have been a lot harder on myself for the mistakes that I made.

I have always sed free blogs, bt a fiend of mine has started to pay for her blog and the difference is huge. I am seriously considering of paying the blog and to transfer all of my work over there. Currently that will have to wait a bit.

I think you can get paid from free blogs right such as when you are using blogger. I heard that in wordpress you can edit your layout freely if you move to a paid website. I also think that you can use a number of images without limitation. My mother uses blogger but she can only post 10 pictures for the blog post.

I guess that blogger driven much better remuneration where trust Visitors make your site more information and is much easier browsing in terms of speed where you become unable to control the Blogger paid but also free Blogger is not bad you can work on them.

You can make a free blog but it can never be compared to paid one. Yes, free has its own limitations including inability to use custom domain name which isn't the case with paid blog. You also have the option to add any plugin of choice and do customization which you cant with free. However, blogger allows you to use custom domain even on free.

It does not cost a lot of money to make a blog, you need a domain and hosting. Some hosting companies give you free domain, and there are hosting companies that charge only $1 per month.
