Most personal blogs don’t usually have a lot of content on a continuous basis. People starts blogs with enthusiasm, then life catches up (or writer’s block or distractions). They usually don’t get a lot of traffic either (including from search engines). Of course, there are many personal blogs where people put a lot of effort to write often and grow the audience. But that’s a minuscule percentage. With that perspective, and considering that most personal blogs are primarily text and don’t use too many large images or embedded videos (storage is not a big concern), I’d say that $10 or €10 a year would be sort of ok. I’m just throwing this pseudorandom figure to get it close to what some of the cheapest domains cost and how much some of the cheapest paid email services cost. This is not intended to be a (de)valuation of the software behind the platform and the effort to maintain the platform.
WordPress (wordpress.com) provides a custom domain and an ad free blog for less than $20 (AFAIK) a year.
