One of the most important decisions you will have to make when starting your own blog is deciding on where to host it. With so many online blogging platforms out there, from WordPress to Tumblr, it can be a difficult decision trying to decide which one best suits your needs or style of blogging. Fortunately, some of the best free online blogging platforms are listed below, and should help you in your quest to get started blogging!

1) Medium

An elegant, minimalist blogging platform that has gained quite a lot of popularity in recent times. It lets you publish long-form content and also has a variety of options for authors to make money off their blogs. However, Medium’s free plan doesn’t allow you to monetize your content by placing ads on it, which could be a deal-breaker for some users.

2) WordPress

This is considered by many to be the king of free blogging platforms and it comes packed with numerous features. Every year thousands of new blogs are created on WordPress, so you will never feel lonely. If you’re considering creating a site for your business or want to improve your personal brand, WordPress is one of your best bets.

3) Ghost

Ghost is a completely open-source blogging platform that helps you create a beautiful and simple website with minimum effort. It has an elegant interface that’s easy to use for people of all levels, whether it’s your first time creating a website or you’re an expert developer. Ghost is easily one of the best free blogging platforms out there today. It also boasts incredible performance, both in terms of speed and uptime, thanks to its Node.js foundation and Nginx web server.

4) Tumblr

Weebly’s biggest selling point is that it allows users to create a website from scratch with absolutely no coding knowledge or web design skills. To start using Weebly, you simply enter your email address and then choose an account name. For example, if your email address is [email protected] then you might want to consider calling your account smithjason. This will allow you to easily access your account later on down the road.

5) Weebly

Weebly is a fantastic free blogging platform for those looking to set up their own web presence quickly and easily. The homepage features a simple drag-and-drop interface that allows you to customize your site design in mere minutes.

It’s also extremely easy to customize your design with support for numerous themes and an easy-to-use drag-and-drop WYSIWYG editor that supports pictures, links, videos, and embedding of various types of media within your posts.

7) Tumbler

Tripod’s slogan is The free, easy way to have your own website. It was one of the original free blogging platforms and has since evolved into a content management system (CMS). Its CMS offers many features including photo galleries, video embedding, and comment moderation. Tripod also serves as a web host; you can even choose to get just an email address from them. Unlike other free blogging platforms, they have no limits on traffic or how many posts you can make.
