  - [blogspot] - for a low monthly fee, you can use blogspot without ads
  - [geocities] (after April, this host will not work)
  - [tripod] - include an ad on the side of your screen
  
• Greymatter/Movable Type - requires cgi-bin access and the ability to run perl programs.
  - [freedom to surf]
  - [digitalrice]
  
• Paid solutions for any blogging tool
  
  - [blogomania] - highly recommended for low cost hosting that has enough features to control any blogging software.
