indeed. There's a super cheap solution though…

nosupportlinuxhosting.com has $1 hosting/month. The only catch is that they expect you to pay upfront $10 or so for 10 months (primarily to avoid cheap-fees, but it sets you up for a loooong time.)

The wife's defunct WP blog is hosted on it - http://blog.jahanvibishnoi.com
and her Koken site too - http://www.jahanvibishnoi.com
as well as a wallabag installation I was once playing with. (Ignore this)

For $1/month, you get a lot of subdomains :)

If you've got a domain, this will be the easiest, fastest, and cheapest way to do it.
