Free wordpress hosting?

    I've tried using wordpress.com but you don't get to add your own html, or plugins. Which is stupid. Is there any wordpress blog hosting sites that anyone knows of besides wordpress.com?

    Below is a compiled list of some free WordPress hosts, although, ultimately, the best decision would be to host WordPress yourself.

    baywords.com/
    blogates.com/

    Your better off buying hosting and setting up own blog. It cost about as much as a cup of coffe a month at star bucks

    Yeah, better off setup your wordpress, buy your own domain and hosting, then you can manipulate your wordpress as you want.It not cost you much.

    If you are looking for somewhere to host a wordpress site for free, may I suggest taking a look at this site

    http://www.freehostia.com (not aff link)

    You can add a wordpress blog with a click of a button, and it's free to host with them.

    I agree, hosting it yourself would be the best option.

    Pay the $4.99 or so per month for a small, but definitely suffecient web hosting package and install Wordpress yourself would be my advice. If you aren't committed enough to invest a little bit of money, your probably aren't committed enough to succeed. Thats not to say it is impossible or meant to be a slap in the face, but just think it over before spending any time on your project. :)

    There are plenty of free hosting companies where you can install a wordpress blog.

    you can also buy .info domains over at godaddy for $1.99, and get one of these $6/year hosting companies to host for you as well.

    if this is to make money, you want to be in control of your destiny - best to own the domain name nad pay for hosting somewhere legit.

    Better to pay for your own hosting and install WP on it, as the features are more extensive than a free-hosted one.

    Hosting is cheap nowadays so the best solution is to buy a hosting packet from BlueHost, HostGator, GoDaddy, or something like that.

    Just get a free hosting from somewhere, install wordpress and you are set to go.The only problem with free hosting will be the domain name and even you can get that free with a co.cc domain.So technically, you can do the whole setup without spending a cent.
