I agree. The local Hosting Services WA not only hosts my domain and email but allows free Wordpress, and many other, installations.
http://www.hostingserviceswa.com.au/ I ran a Wordpress travel blog using their free service and found no difficulties or problem. However now I have Daniel hosting my domain where I could run my blog, the blog address is set to the free Wordpress address, and I can't redirect it.
