WordPress.org vs Blogger.com

Choosing a blog platform is a confusing process.
That's why we comparing some famous free blog platforms. Here we compare the major features of each platform and it's hosting costs.

Let's start,

WordPress.org

• Free software, Need a paid hosting and domain
• Full control over website/blog
• Easy to use
• Highly scalable
• Over 5000+ themes
• Full control over SEO

It's is a free cms software and blog platform. You can build a website and blog on it. But need a paid hosting server to install this software. Then, why it's called free?

Yeah, only the software is free. You can freely use WordPress software on your hosting to manage your website. But the hosting is not provided by WordPress.org. You need to find a hosting provider for hosting a WordPress blog. There several web hosting providers such as Bluehost.com, Godaddy.com and Hostinger.com etc..

If you are a starter, newly starting to blogging I'll definitely recommend Bluehost.com for you. Because it is very simple, fast and low cost.

WordPress is scalable with lots of plugins and themes. Their frequent updates are including helpful new features on it.

You'll get complete control over SEO of your site. It helps to get higher ranks on search engines.

Blogger.com

• Free!
• Free subdomain ( yourdomain.blogspot.com )
• Connect own custom domain
• Easy AdSense integration
• Third-Party custom templates available

Blogger is a blogging platform run by Google. Anyone who has a google account can start a blog on blogger.com, It's free.

If you want to start a blog for free, blogger.com is the best option. There are no hidden charges. You'll get a free subdomain like yourdomain.blogspot.com or connect your own custom domain for free. Blogger has a simple word processor like the blog post editor.

You can easily connect your blog with your AdSense account for monetization. The blogger dashboards is simple and easy to a starter.

Most of the comparisons say blogger.com has limited themes, I think it false. Because currently there are lots of blogger templates available on the internet. For free and paid.

Although, there are some limitations too. Its SEO control is complicated. You didn't have full control over your website.
