You say that the free WordPress.com gives you unlimited storage and bandwidth. The bandwidth is unlimited the but the storage limit for free accounts is just 50MB. If you need more than that you need to start paying for upgrades.

That's just another good reason to go with a self-hosted WordPress account.

Since im not really good when it comes to introduction part so i think it'd be best for me to answer your question directly instead :D

Do you think it would be possible for me to have get a free wordpress blog and link my wordpress blog to my own domain and preferred hosting server?

Yes, it is possible but i do not recommend this because it is not allowed by the free wordpress team staff. Previously there are several blogs made just to link from there and they get deleted immediately by the staff

Other than that, it is also useless to put link into your own blog from there (the free wordpress blog) especially if you just created it because there'd be no pagerank or google juice into your newly created blog at wordpress dot com

Can I put ads when I do it that way? if not, how much would I pay for wordpress if that is the set-up I want?

If you use pay hosting service, of course you can do anything you want to your blog, such as placing advertisement, etc .. and of course it is not possible to do this in the free wordpress blog from the wordpress team

About pricing, well that's depend on the person itself but if you dont really know what you're doing. There is a team outthere that can set up your wordpress blog for free (basic installation just to make sure your wordpress blog worked perfectly)

That's all i hope i've answered your question

And welcome to the world of blogging :)

Hi. Thanks for this helpful article . its really nice to read stuff like this especially for guys like me who is just learning to blog.

I just have a question and I hope you could put your insight about it.

I want to try my luck in blogging to earn some dough thru ads. I already bought a domain and plan to host it at letzebuerg dot net.

[...] This fared a bit better, but I think when I start my real blog I’ll have to go self hosted since I can’t have advertising here. But then again, is that really so? WWD is Wordpress.com hosted and has ads. Time to do some investigating. [...]
