Love your ambition. Just follow this tutorial to start a blog on your own domain name:
http://www.howtostartablog.com
It covers blog planning, tips on finding a good domain name for your blog, getting web hosting, tells you all the costs associated with it, customizing your blog, etc.
The guy who runs that blog is very knowledgeable and helpful. You can post questions, and even email him personally.
Good luck!
Some of the free hosts allow custom domain names, the one with the least hidden strings or upgrades is Google's Blogger.com they are pretty tolerant of ads on your pages, they don't take out a revenue sharing cut from Adsense ads.
Generally it's best to get a domain name from a separate source from your hosting, although most of the $8 a month hosting plans throw in a domain name, some of these hosts make it hard or dificult to move the domain name to another host. Use Godaddy.com or Namecheap.com to get the domain name that can be used with a blogger site and relocated to another host as needed.
Getting a paid hosting account for around $8 a month and using their easy wordpress blog installer would be the easiest way to go commercial, some 17% of the top 1 million sites use Wordpress, plugins and theme options can make a non blog looking site. Many of these hosting accounts allow an unlimited number of added on domain names.
If you're looking for a free domain, try out http://www.domainode.net
they offer free domains (com,net,org,biz,info) at no cost, no downloads and no surveys.
They can also set you up a blog along with the domain. Check out their services. :)
I really suggest you give them a shot. They're really new and fresh and are looking for new customers. I just got a domain from them a few days ago and it works like a charm and i didn't have to give out any personal details. :)
I hope that website helps because it sure did help me!
If you're still not sure, tweet them or post on their fanpage
If you want earn money by blogging then you need to sign up for the host and domain.
I recommend you to use dreamhost.com and ofcourse use "WIN339" coupon to get free domain.

Thanks
I dont know where to start a blog im new to this stuff. I made a website when i was about 8 or 9, but it was just a free one that u could play games on and stuff, nothing special. And besides, im 13 now and need to upgrade. Dont get me wrong though im very good with tech stuff and all that. I dont want this place to be a free domain type thing. I want it to be mine and i own it, with my own domain. I also want to be able to offer advertising to people. So i can make money out of my time. Can anyone give me a link to making a blog, again i want to register it as mine not a free one like glogster or anything. Thank you to any answers! It is greatly appreciated!
