Automattic, the makers of the stand-alone Wordpress publishing platform (found at Wordpress.org) also run a service providing free hosting for Wordpress blogs (at Wordpress.com).  Although there are some limitations compared to hosting Wordpress yourself, they do stack a ton of coolness for what is essentailly a totally free service.  This includes:
Instant setup and activation of your blogFree hosting of your Wordpress blogIntegrated statistics for tracking blog trafficSpam filteringLoads of free themesMultiple blogs and members-only blogsAbility to export all your data should you choose to boogie and go elsewhere with your blog This is just the start.  Automattic stacks a whole lot more into the deal … to the point it’s just silly how much you get for free. So if you or your clients don’t have the scratch for the project just yet; you’d be hard pressed to find a better place to start.
