Big difference among Blogger OR WordPress ? Who is best ?

which is best blogger or wordpress

This question often comes to the mind of a person who is about to start his blogging career in this online world. Whenever we search over the Internet about these two keywords viz. Blogger & WordPress. We got several thousands results as well as several views about these blogging platform. 

I have been on blogger for a long time compare to very less on WordPress. Here I am talking about WordPress.com (the free one) and not WordPress.org (Self hosted). If I can tell you about the two; I would like to put more stress on applicability and suitability to ones working method. Be it on Blogger or WordPress, if you are good enough to manage the things and you like to show your creativity along with that you don't want to spend a single penny on your blog initially, then, Blogger is although a winner in this. 

WordPress (Free version) comes with loads of stuff to play with. You will be allowed to put themes, your website logo, limited space on their server, free domain with wordpress.com suffixing with that, and now they are also offering jetpack essentials pack. That's it. Whereas when we talk about Blogger, it will give you unlimited bandwidth, unlimited space on server, a domain with blogspot.com suffixing with your choice of domain name. 

You will be provided with tons of new themes which blogger has recently updated and they are fabulous. In other words, if you want simplicity, blogger is for you. On the other hand, if a little complexity is your preference, that is available with WordPress platform. 

Now, comes to upgrading from free platform to self hosted one:

You will be happy to note that while using both the platforms, you can make them self hosted whenever you feel right about it. However, when you use the self hosting feature, WordPress will give you additional support and with more features to be busy with. While Blogger does not offer you that much flexibility. With blogger, you can only change the domain name as per your registered one. What you need to do is, Go to a domain registrar, purchase a domain and link it with Blogger. I will try to cover this in another article with a video.

Whereas with WordPress, you have two options. First option is continue with WordPress.com with custom domain name while the other option is Purchase a Domain Name, Purchase a Blog Hosting from Hosting Providers, Manage things like professional bloggers. That's sounds amazing. Isn't it?

It totally depends upon you which option you would like to opt. I would recommend Blogger, if you are completely new and just want to have a taste of Blogging. On the other hand if you are serious,  you can continue with Blogger for as long as you want and at a later time, you feel confident about management of a blog, upgrade to self hosting with WordPress.
