Don't you agree? I already tested 2 or 3 free hosting sites and what do they have in common? -
do NOT last long! Not only that, you can't access the site 24/7, the "online support" is always oflline, and so on (a lot to mention)... Then comes the worst part. One day the site would just go "Sorry this site is not available!". Whaa-haat?!!. Then you keep coming back, checking and hoping its just a "daily" maintenance. But, Whaa-haat?!!. Nope its all gone. The site just CLOSED!
We'll lucky for me coz i didn't have a lot of post in them (in fact, only one, lol) coz i was a bit busy with work and i didnt have much idea that time on what to add in my site. And before i was a graphics designer, not a blogger (but definitely, I am now. Its my job).

Conclusion:
Therefore, If you want to set-up your own site and you can't afford or don't want a hosting site, I would prefer blogging sites (e.g. blogdrive, blogger, wordpress, vox, etc.). Why? Because..
(no particular order)
1. they last longer, you need not to worry for your files.
2. your URL (your link) would still the same. I mean there's this dot-dot. example:
talk2mj.blogdrive.com is equal to talk2mj.othersite.com
3. Site is accessible 24/7.
4. There's a help center or "submit a support ticket" when you have some questions. While others provide a dummy one.
5. You dont have to worry about how to design your site (or blog). You can choose from a variety of templates available.
6. They are Popular. This is good for those who are after of PR(page ranks).
Next time: i will explain which blogging site to choose or the right for you..
