Money, the free sites like blogger.com or wordpress.com would be alright. Ghost and tumblr revalso good places to start your blog.

Granted you wont get alot of control over the presentation of your content, but the hosting services are free. You'll also be able to invest your time into your writing without any investment of your money, in case you a writer who likes to write without added pressure.

For a paid service, bluehost.com offers affordable services. You could install a wordpress template and host your site for under 10 dollars a month. Most of their plans are paid in quarterly or yearly installments.

My personal blog is quietabode.blogspot.com.

There are mostly personal / spiritual entries, but there are a couple music and news pieces as well.
