When it comes to hosting a content management system which makes information dynamically available to readers an appropriate hosting service is required. Most webmasters know the difference between free hosts and paid hosts, basically free hosts are not recommended accounts even if it is for personal web sites because there are several downsides to this particular service.   
  To name a few: most free hosts do not offer MySQL databases which are key to running all the information required to run a blog, information such as articles, polls,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, statistics, add ons,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, template system, etc. are all stored within this database type. Not having this feature available will only leave the option of creating static web sites which are hard to manage after a certain amount of articles or posts.   
  Another key element free hosts interfere with is: advertisement. Almost all webmasters try to monetize their quality content through ad networks such as Adsense,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, Commission Junction, etc. or by selling a particular product/service. The problem with free hosts lies in the fact that several, untargeted ads are placed in areas of high visibility within the blog, the most common area is the header. Imagine you run a blog about children's education and protection against internet predators,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, what would be the reaction of your readers if they saw a huge 700 x 100 banner at the top of your blog advertising an adult dating service?, wouldn't you think such advertisements defeat the purpose of your source?, not to even mention the pop ups.   
  An option to free this disadvantageous service lies in blog platform hosting through the CMS provider, for instance, Blogger (Google owned) and Wordpress both offer free hosting services which are ad free,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, the only downside to this solution is that your visitors will face a lot of trouble to find your site because the URL is not very practical. Most visitors remember a web site by its design but more importantly by its domain. Blogger and Wordpress offer a "sub-domain" hosting option which means that your blog web address will look somewhat like "blogger/wordpress.yourblogname.com" (replace blogger or wordpress depending the platform you use).
