    Well, since you built it on a free host, when you move it, you will lost all links, indexing and traffic, so it wouldn't really be worth much, would it? Also, it would no longer be 5 years old. It would be a brand new site on a domain that you buy for it.

    Under the mentioned circumstances, your site must have a very high traffic to be able to sell it. Being hosted on a free platform, possibilities are limited and this will hinder your attempt to sell it.

    Most free hosting platforms with site builders, like ucoz, weebly, wix (or any other alternatives) won't give you access to a database, so you won't be able to move the actual content to a domain with a paid hosting.

    Even you attach a domain name to your current website, it won't have a too great demand for buyers (except the case when it has high quality content and high traffic).

    Websites usually sell well on flippa.com .

    Yes. You can get free hosting suitable for this purpose at byethost.com, or freehostia.com, or 000webhost.com. Or several others (but those three have reasonably good reputations and don't put their own advertising on your pages, like some free hosts do).

    Some of the replies above seem to have confused "free hosted platforms" like Blogspot, Wix, and so on with the "free hosts" like Freehostia. They're two different things. You need to use something like Freehostia to avoid all the (sale) problems you'd have using one of the free platforms with built-in site-builders.

    Even though all the three examples I've mentioned above will give you a free subdomain if you want (just like Blogger/Wix will), it may be very difficult (maybe even impossible?) to sell if you don't register a domain-name of your own, though, and you'll need to pay for that. Don't register the domain-name where you host the site, though: keep those two functions separate.

    .
