Welcome to NamePros friend! Glad you joined and hope you enjoy domaining!

Free services are limited. By having you own hosting, you have much control. There reading you can do to learn more about the differences.

Best of luck!

Thanks @Silentptnr and @-EM-, opting for a paid hosting.

Thanks for sharing it.

Hello everyone, I have some doubts regarding hosting.Why should one go for another hosting provider if “Blogger” is giving it free? I know many people are using a different provider that means there is some limitation of using blogger services. If there are, what are they? Please explain.

I have a number of businesses and one has been using blogger for as long as I can remember. The site has free https and has NEVER been down. I cannot remember exactly how long since I switched to blogger for that site but it must be over 10 years now.

I run a few other sites on wordpress and its constant upgrades or the host disables the login for a period of time due to intrusions etc etc.

Yes wordpress is customizable but don't let anyone knock blogger, for over 10 years I cannot remember a single day of downtime. It has NEVER had a security issue or an intrusion. It truly is free and you can highly customize it. I'm not sure if I could ever have asked more than that for free.

I'll share the address with you via pm so you can look.

PS. I have removed all blogger branding and nobody has ever figured out it was a blogger site.

- Unlimited posts
- hardly any spam ever
- you can turn off comments and use it as a straight website

I have over 10 years, zero downtime, now free https and ZERO costs.

Cannot beat those zeros

hi,

Blogger is the only free and robust content management platform but in spite of getting the credit and appreciate people always degrade it for its sluggish and rusty behavior.

I don't want to become the face of blogger here and I am not officially trying to defend the platform but what sluggish behavior? My website flies and sure once in a while you get a bug in the control panel when they implement new features but they always give you the option of using new or old.

I am a beta tester on currently using the beta control panel and I could not be happier.

I have a number of businesses with my own dedicated server, several wordpress websites, a massive online store and...... you guessed it a blooger website for one of my businesses.

I have had issues with EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING, from dos attacks to intrusions on wordpress, to upgrades not working, to server down times. Over the years I have become an expertin fixing things. Amazingly enough though, my blogger site just runs and runs with never an issue.

As good as anything using wordpress but free

I use firebase for HTML sites because it IS free, it's Google cloud hosting, auto HTTPS, and auto CDN.

I use Google Cloud Console for WordPress. The set up is very very very involved, especially if you want HTTPS - need to know your way around apache and be comfortable with CLI - but it is so cheap it might as well be free. They give you a $300 coupon just for signing up, of which I spent maybe $20 over a year on a dozen sites.

Though they do charge for resource usage by the second, and they automatically scale and balance. So if you end up getting 10,000 hits a day, it could get expensive. I have a little affiliate site based on my cat and it gets maybe 50 hits a day average, and costs me all of $0.82 a month lol

@BootyOcean18 I thought Firebase was only for apps?

They will let you host simple html/js websites there. Nothing dynamic, no php or asp or anything like that. But if you run, let's say, jekyll you can deploy it to firebase. It's pretty neat. I run my website - remysheppard.com - on firebase.

The biggest problem is you can really only host small websites there. I once tried running a jekyll-based blog on firebase and once it got to a certain size (~25 pages plus images), it got to be too much because it would re-upload everything when you would deploy an update.

I guess you could work around that if you used git commits and something like TravisCI, but at that point you might as well use Github Pages - less work for the same end result.
