Traditional way is to just use a WordPress account, and then move onto a paid hosting service of you decide you like keeping up with your blog. No point in paying for something you don't use. Their ceo was a dick with open source stuff, but the website itself is still solid enough to be used to check if its a hobby you want to actually keep up with.

If you want to spend just as much time managing the blog as you do actually sharing things, a raspberry pi, Hugo, nginx, and a lot of time are also an option.

I personally use Porkbun for the .com and hostinger for the backend, and it's been great for the past couple years to host my own wordpress setup.

But actually, I think that makes me oldschool. The new kids are using neocities.
