Blogging platforms
The most used blogging platforms are the WordPress and Blogger. 70% of the bloggers are using WordPress and the rest are using the blogger. Blogger is a free as it is the Google product; there is no need of any domain, plugins… but the domain name comes with the blogspot.com so you create multiple blog on blogger for free.
You can also add a custom domain to remove blogspot.com from your blog
address. There are no problems of hack, hang of your blog in blogger as it is
secured and maintained by the Google itself. And when we comes towards the WordPress, it is also a free platform but the thing is that have purchase the
domain name, hosting and setup some important tools that are necessary for the
security and maintenance of your blog
You are now confused that what is the best platform for blogging. According to me if you are a newbie and you knows nothing about blogging then it my suggestion that you should go with Blogger with free domain to learn all the things properly.
Later on when you understand all the things properly about blogging
then you can easily migrate towards WordPress to learn some different things.
