Even though there are a number of limitations and disadvantages to using WordPress hosting, there are also a number of benefits to choosing the free service over opting for using one that you will need to pay for your own hosting.

The first benefit really is the fact that it is free. Blogging is something that many people do because it is fun and it helps to create a diary that others can read. It is something that many people want a free place to put all of their thoughts. You will not get any income from it so why pay for something to host your blogs on?

You can also prevent the amount of spam that your blog receives. There is a built-in program designed for blocking spam, which prevents the number of anti-spam plug-ins that you need to install to stop everything. WordPress uses Akismet, which constantly runs in the background of your blog so you will not even realize that it is happening.
