    It depends if your free web host fulfills all the criteria required to install a blog like the enabled PHP script and offers database..

    Depends on the free host. As some will stop you putting your own ads on your blog (adsense) and some will force ads onto your site.

    Maybe give blogger a try, if it doesnt work out for you then checkout the free hosting link in my signature.

    hosting are not expensive now. Why not buy one? Free hosting offer no help and always have ads on you sites or other restriction and limitation.

    I am new to hosting and want to try one with my BLOG.
    i will consider going for paid hosting if my blog becomes popular. so by that time, may be in an year, i will be able to learn some basics of hosting and will be able to consider paid hosting.
    if i am not successful why waste money?

    mtsandeep is right it's very good for having your own paid blog services are trustable, free hosting may be some times crisis technical scripting, database problem

    as far as i know you cannot host domains except with top-level domain extensions on free hosts.so if you have got one such domain then it should be no problem

    If you are not confident, why start blogging?

    If you are not confident and don't want to spend money on domain name and hosting, blogger.com is a good option if you want to serve adsense ads. Wordpress is another option.

    The problem with free hosting is that you would not to able to transfer you blog to another site if you are successful in the future. But there is a way, buy the site.
