Well..coming to WordPress and Blogger.

At first let’s discuss Blogger :

Blogger belongs to Google.yes..Google provides free web hosting.You can create your first ever website in 30 seconds with the help of Blogger.

Just go to www.blogger.com and sign in with your Google id.Then click on create new blog.Give blog address as www.youraddress.blogspot.com.

The only thing you have to compromise is that your address will have blogspot.com and not as www.yoursiteaddress.com.To make your site as a private site you have to purchase a domain name and set up a 3rd party URL in blogger.Never worried for hosting..as Google is giving you free hosting for your site lifetime.
