Blog platform recommendation. Blogger or Wordpress?

[zoecheng]

Hi there, I'm new in BHW and IM

because I want to learn from blogging, but I don't know which one would be better to start from
"blogger? or WP"?

( I just created a blogger few days ago with a few posts, but I'm not sure if it's good for a long-term choice )

any suggestion?

Thanks!

You are best to buy a cheap domain, cheap hosting and build your own blog. This way you own and control it fully.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll do
is there any recommendation apart from Godday and namecheap?

WordPress is the best.
Namecheap is better than Godaddy.

With hosts like digital ocean or others similar, they will set up Wordpress for you on your own hosting. You don't need to know linux.

Wordpress I would suggest

Get domain and ssl from namecheap.

Don't get hosting there.
Never buy WP-Hosting. Always buy a VPS. (if you know how to setup - way cheaper)

Look for cheap, but reputable hosting providers. You can find real gems if you try really hard.

EDIT: BTW for blogs use wordpress.

VPS? is it similar to WebHost? (sorry, I'm extremely new in IM, I'll read more threads here!)

if u have money to buy domain and hosting, wordpress is a good choice.

dont bother with vps, unless u know how to setup the vps or know someone who will manage it for u. using vps+ free panel is another choice but still for starter blog shared hosting is good.

I think you can also buy namecheap's wordpress hosting in that case

You can import your blogger stuff

VPS is a virtual private server but just go with Siteground hosting, can't go wrong.

If this is your first website just get shared hosting from NameCheap for 8$ per year. It will be more than enough to play and learn. Later if you need more sites or get more traffic you can get good hosting at hawkhost or somewhere else. Don't bother with dedicated servers or VPS, there is no point for you using those.
