A Free WordPress Blog Host Where You Can Use Custom Domain For Free
A few weeks ago I wrote a post comparing Blogger.com & WordPress.com free hosting. And one of the demerits of WordPress.com is that it doesn’t allow the use of free custom domain. So now I thought of letting you know about a free WordPress blog hosting where you can use your own domain for free. Moreover, there is a revenue shaing program where you can earn 75% of revenue from your blog through Google Adsense.
The free custom domain feature of Blogetery is like Blogger.com. You just need to purchase a domain & then you can update DNS to point it to their server. They support both full-domain mapping (e.g. example.com) and sub-domain mapping (e.g. blog.example.com). So whether you want to host a standalone blog in this free blog hosting or just want to create an add-on blog for your pet project that you don’t want to host on your server, you can use it in both ways. It has some cool features with lots of themes & plug-ins to choose from.
It has been online for more than a year. So if you are looking for a free WordPress.com alternative, feel free to try it.

Its a nice free service. I’m hosting my blog on blogetery at selurus.com. Although some support from the site admin would be nice. I ticket I raised in the support system a couple of weeks ago is still unassigned.
Thanks for the post. I’m using another new free blog host that uses WordPress, FreeTheBlog. They have free domain mapping and also offer subdomains on your choice of one of several top level domains. They do display an ad in the bottom right hand corner, but it generally doesn’t cover the content. The rest of the ad inventory is mine to do with what I want.
