What can you recommend me for blog web hosting?
What is recommended start with free web hosting account? (I believe I have seen lots of them here recently) or some paid solutions say like b2evolution.net or espinda.com offer?
Or that is enough to research wordpress recommendations?
Please let me know what is recommended
Or that just does not matter?
Thanks for your help buddies

what i would recommend is to find a post2host somewhere where you can get a package with around 200 mb space and 2 gb bandwidth for a low amount of posts a month. Then you can install the blog software of your choice, and should you go paid, it will be very easy to export your stuff to the new host.

Actually that doesn't matter but at the same time you need to understand that some web host design servers for that. And in both cases you will have good experience

you can start with blogspot or wordpress free blog hosting & can move to paid hosting later.

If you just plainly want to host a WordPress Blog (and probably with a TLD Domain), you could just start with WordPress's Hosting itself. And when your blog gains daily hits steadly, start moving to Shared Hosting where you'd have more freedom as to what you want to do with your Site altogether.

Just my 2cents.

b2Evolution is very good blogging platform. It is very convenient if you want to manage a few blogs from one place. It is actually multi-blogging system. There's only one disadvantage fro newbies or for anyone who has not web design skills. The design skins (themes) aren't that much and are very simple. So you should be calcualte some costs for web design.

Yeah I will also recommend to start with some free options and as you grow bigger you can change to a paid hosting platform.

what is your plan in the future?

If you want pure blog, no ads inside, go with wordpress.com
if you want super server for free and want to monetize your blog, go with blogger.com..

If you want to customize for make money purpose, buy it!! Don't waste your time with "post2host". With 25 US$ you got paid hosting with free domain here!!

Start free but make sure they allow you to park a domain and move it for free...don't want to lose any of your link juice
