Keep in mind before choosing any domain name :
* Your domain name must be related to your blog.
* your domain name must be easily memorable.

Keep in mind before choosing any hosting provider for your blog hosting :
* Your hosting provider must be reliable and flexible.
* You have to check their Reliability and speed of access

Yes, definitely you can create a free blog using the Free blogging platform such as Wordpress and Blogger. But, you won't be able to get a domain name like Google.com . The URL of the blog created using the free blogging platform would be like this : yourblog.wordpress.com or yourblog.blogspot.com . In order to have a private domain name, you need to register a new domain name and then host it by purchasing a reliable shared web hosting plan.

Yes, it is possible but you have to know the disadvantages of a free blog.

A. When you start a blog with a free blogging service, you don't get your own domain.

B. You get something like mygreatblog.blogspot.com (where there are a million other blogs at blogspot.com) and you don't actually own the blog.

C. If you ever do decide to move to your own domain, you have no way to take your readers with you, because you have no control over the site.
