Do you mean just host a WP instance?

Most hosting services have WP available for no extra cost. You pick the 
theme you like and crank it up.
Bluehost, Godady, Hostgator, etc...
Wordpress itself offers (free?) space but with a limited amount of WP 
themes. 'course everything is for sale. You can buy themes too.

With either of these SOMEONE needs to put stuff on it.
That could be you, or a "friend" or a paid individual.

I'm not sure at all about migrating another CMS's database to a WP database.

I would be interested in getting involved. Contact me offlist:)
