    I'd like to introduce my daughter to the world of blogging and was wondering if there are any free hosts that allow wordpress blogging and also allow you to upload your own wordpress blog theme?

    Thank you

    I haven't heart of such free hosts.

    However, WordPress.com might be enough for your daughter to start with. There are 67 themes available.

    Free hosting sucks as you get what you pay for.If you could spend $2.00 Per Month for hosting, Try www.blogshoster.com
    First month free,Latest version of wordpress installed free!!
    247 support loads of themes to choose from or upload your own theme or ask them to install your theme and they will do it free.

    If your intrested pm me i can set it up!!

    Agreed. Stay away from free hosting and consider investing in a host of your own. It's not overly complicated.

    On topic, go to qupis.com or 000webhost.Info and apply for an account there. You get 250 mb of space n 100 gb of bandwidth in the info one. The qupis.com one probably gives you 20gb of bandwidth and 100mb of space. They both allow the theme uploads and multiple wordpress users. :) Trust me, free hosts are not really bad. I'm in a paid host now, but for most of my hosting life, I was in a free host. So blog away!

    I also dont recommend a free host. But again as she is small, she should learn from small things. I prefer blogpico.com take a look at it, also blogger is nice. But again, tell her that she should migrate to paid hosts..may be cheap at first.

    I offer free hosting with PHP support, PHP access and banner free so if you want to take an account for your daughter you can simply upload and install Wordpress via ftp, because only the paid accounts have auto-installer.

    Even though it's not that hard install the script, besides my service is backed by a large European company so it will not "gracefully" disappear from one day to another, just follow my signature if you want to learn more.
