It's been difficult in clearly stating between blogger and wordpress which is the best blog hosting platform.
This has been the frequent question gotten from those who wish to go into blogging. But the truth about both is that they both have their pros and cons.
In this post we will be doing a complete review on the two platforms. But at the end it's left to you to choose which suits you.

*Ownership & Control: Blogger is a free hosting platform that is owned and managed by google. Google has full control of your blog and hence can decide at any time to shut your blog down or the Blogger platform down. Unlike wordpress where you are wholly incharge of your blogs contents, future and lifespan. You can decide when it goes/shuts down. And you can easily move your content to another hosting platform.

*Simplicity & Ease of Use: The blogger platform is a true definition of simplicity when blogging is mentioned.

It's friendly and simple user interface makes users navigate through their layout and dashboard with much ease. While the wordpress interface is a more complicated interface, hence would not be so easy to use by beginners. Although the wordpress platform makes it easier to moderate comments, but the reverse is the case with blogger.

*Appearance: This is one of the greatest downsides of Blogger, having limited templates that are not professional, although you can go for a custom template but still it's nothing compared to the wordpress platform which is an open source platform whereby it can be given any type of professional look. Wordpress also has a large number of professional themes and plugins out there.

*Portability: Your wordpress contents can be easily moved to any other platform or domain because your fully incharge of your content. Unlike Blogger where moving your content is not an easy task and you stand the risk of loosing your sites ranking.

*Security: Since blogger is owned and managed by google, you are sure that your content are in safe hands. But in the wordpress platform things can go wrong at any time. Which may lead to the loss of all your content. And there is much tendency of loosing your blog to hackers.

*Support: The wordpress platform tends to offer much more support to it's users compared to blogger were almost everything is documented and you get close to no user support.

*Less Costs: The blogger platform is a free hosting platform where almost everything you need to succeed is free! Unlike wordpress where the reverse is the case, you have to pay for almost everything that you'll need to succeed.

*Blog Monetization: This is one part where the google's blogger platform takes the lead, you can integrate your blog to your adsense account on the go and will surely get the best of adsense using google's blogger platform. Blogger also allows you to run all other types of ads on your site and you get 100℅ of the revenue at the end. While wordpress only allows you to use adsense and skimlinks and at the end they'll get 50% of the revenue generated.

*Storage: Blogger gives you 1gb of picture storage and also you have 1mb page size limit. While wordpress gives you free 3gb storage. But blogger is more cost effective when it comes to purchasing additional storage.

          In conclution, it's advisable to use googles's Blogger.com if your just going into BLOGGING( that is just posting, sharing music and videos, giving tutorials, monetization and all what is done by a typical blogger). And it will also be advisable to use the wordpress platform if you wish to create a more professional blog/website to host your content/business.

I believe that at this point you've made up your mind on the platform to host your online content.
