If you are going to start a new blog / website you should start with your own domain name. Even if you are starting out just as a hobby or for earning few bucks consider that your blog / website can grow bigger someday and when you want to move on you shouldn't change your url and lose everything.
Once you start a blog / webpage you start to build your content and increase your traffic you will get links from other pages and get your name noticed around the web. You must be sure that the name you advertise is a name you own. When you decide to move to your own URL you will lose all those links and visitors you've been working for.
Registering your own domain name doesn't require too much investment. You can just register a domain name with .com, .net, .org extension only with 10$. If you can spend 10$ for cinema tickets you should also spend it for registering your domain name.

Domain name is the address of your blog / webpage while hosting is for storing the content of your blog / webpage. Starting with registering a domain name will be enough if you want to stay amateur for a while. You can redirect this URL (web address) to any of the free content providers you have. (blogger and other services.)

great hub thank a lot and I realy like it
Registering for a domain is one of the most basic aspects of developing a site, yet at the same time, it can be vital to a site's success. If ranking high on search engines such as Google is of high priority, then it would be advisable to register an "exact match domain".
