Maybe you have been looking for a way to create your own WordPress blog but because you haven't seen a better tutorial to guide you it becomes a set back to your plans achievement
But today am going to show you clear tutorial on how you can set up your WordPress free hosted blog with your mobile phone or pc. WordPress is expensive yet they offer a gateway through which you can also create free sites only that you will have a limited space.
Creating personal blogs with WordPress free host is fine because you are going to have limited visitors but when thinking about making a site that you want to go viral, the free WordPress platform might not favour your because of the limited space available.
One good thing about creating this free WordPress blog is that you can later migrate if you see that your site is growing successful i.e you can start with the free host after smelling success you can now migrate to paid host for a better space to harbour your files.
In creating a WordPress blog, you need a host through which your site will be installed. There are many web hosting services that offers WordPress installation but many don't render free services i.e you will have to Install with paid host alone while others give chances of starting with free host and later migrating if you feel your website is growing out of the given space or bandwidth.
