Otherwise, all your hardwork might be put into waste if you just simply rely on free hosting. So why not considering paid hosting especially now that other hostings offer discounts.

DOn't even think of starting something with a free platform. An economy hosting account really don't cost you a thing. I mean: I have lost at least 2 very good lenses on squidoo.com which had a pr of 2 and pr3 respectively when it was just locked without notice. Then I lost my Wordpress blog also being suspended when it stood at pr2. And although I didn't had my blog for as long as I had my lenses - I lost about 1 years hard work. Think very carefully when you decide to get a "free blog." Oh off course it’s better to host your own blog! DOn’t even think of starting something with a free platform.
