WordPress vs Blogger? which one is better?
I know it sounds silly for some of you guys and yes that's obvious no offence, please! But hey I know some of you still use blogger and that's fine I am also using it for one of my blog sites it's old but it's okay! As we all know most bloggers start their journey with Blogspot right? But they start maturing and then they shift their attention from blogger to WordPress wait just right here if this is the case then why some people are not shifting to this side and staying as a Blogspot loyal lover? let's find out in today's video.
Hi, guys welcome to cloud unlink and let's start
Well, we all know blogger I mean at least the majority of the people already knows the downside of the blogger platform right? like it's old, non-customisable some people also reported that it is sluggish now this particular statement I highly suspicious How a google manage platform becomes sludgy? anyway, get back to our topic just like these downsides Blogspot also offers some incredible upsides as well. I personally don't know about blogger lovers but I found 2 main strong points of blogger to hold a person on its side.
No:1
It's free! like totally (if you don't consider a custom domain paid themes and smart add-ons). Now you say in this capitalistic world who wants to resist free stuff? if you go for a WordPress site then you have to pay something to start your blog like purchasing a domain, hosting, theme and maybe some plugins let's have a quick calculation of how minimum it may cost:
Domain: 700/- INR ( considering .com extension for 1 year)
Hosting: 1968/- INR (considering shared and fast hosting from Hostinger, for 1 year if you want to buy Hostinger hosting then you can also get it from the link given in the video description it is really cheap and fast)
Theme: 3266/- INR (considering generate press most popular and lightest WordPress theme, for one year)
Now, this cumulative amount becomes approx 5934/- INR and this is the nominal fees you need to pay as much as you upgrade your level you need to pay more.
After some research, I found the major expense of a WordPress blogger becomes hosting like when you become popular and your website gets the opportunity to attract more and more users you have to increase your hosting game and to do that you need to upgrade your shared hosting to a VPS or cloud server. Now for today's time, the most affordable cloud hosting solution is Cloudways which cost you around $12/m means 12X12 $144/mo or 10,800 INR/ year and remember that this is a base level. And I believe this is legit like if you have millions of traffic then I guess you earn pitty well and you can easily afford this.
On the other hand, blogger is a product of Google and it is hosted on Google cloud which is google's own dedicated cloud server and this ranks 3rd in the world after AWS and Azure so it is extremely powerful.
No: 2 Security
There is no doubt about blog spots security as it is managed by Google itself. yes, you can also make your WordPress secure without any paid tools or plugins but still, you can't match the blog spots security level.
That's it guys now it's time for WordPress to roll on
There are so many benefits os using a WordPress let's learn each of them quickly
1. Ownership: WordPress is an open-source CMS platform so the website you build on WordPress is completely yours! No one can delete your site except and that shrouded hacker. Yes! if you did something bad and violated goggles policies then google can deindex your site but can't delete or remove it. On the flip site although you make a blogger site by yourself technically it is owned by google so He can erase your site from reality with a snap just like Thanos on your mistake.
2. User-friendliness: Trust me guys WordPress is super easy whatever you need in WordPress just install and activate a plugin no coding is required this is just a heavenly experience for all codefobic foxs. But in a blogger, if you need something then you need to code that thing or you can try to find that code on the internet which is time-consuming and frustrating as well.
3. Custom URLs: In blogger your users look unprofessional I mean just look at this and now look at these WordPress URLs you can clearly see the difference
4. SEO guide: In WordPress, there is a plugin called Yoast SEO which helps you to manage your on-page SEO just like a piece of cake but in blogger, you have to take care of that part by yourself.
5. Beautification: No doubt a WordPress website looks way better than a blogger one although you can modify your Blogspot site with code to some extent that it could compete with WordPress I don't recommend you to do that if you are not a professional coder the reason behind this is it may hamper your template code structure and it becomes fetal if you don't have any backups.
6. Coming up to the next point backup in WordPress is automated you just need to install a free plugin and it will take backup of your site everyday automatically and store that backup in your google drive you don't need to remember that backup headache. But in blogger, you need to take a manual backup separately for your posts and website every time you decided to change anything.
In terms of earning you can use any of them Yes you can get AdSense approval in blogger as well. Here is a small suggestion for you if you decided to earn money from affiliate marketing then you should use WordPress there is a reason behind this as we discuss in the early part of this video that WordPress websites look way better than blogger sites now think about your self what should you prefer a well managed colourful website or a shady and cheap-looking website to buy any product from?
But if you are solely dependent upon Ads then Blogspot and WordPress are similar.
There are also so many major advantages in WordPress but I hope you get my point right!
So, in the conclusion part let me sum up all the mess. If you just started and don't have any money I mean Zero! then go with Blogger. But If you can invest 6000-7000 bugs then start your journey with WordPress. And you must try Hostinger the most affordable modern and fast web hosting for bloggers. Link in the description.
