No doubt, the Blogger is a free platform with way more premium options. Blogger is owned by Google and provides a blog-publishing service along with a multi-user option.

Blogger is growing dramatically and has millions of monthly visitors. It is the second-most used blogging platform worldwide. Blogger.com became the 11th most used blogging platform on Sitejabber after getting 4.2 stars out of 5.

I used Blogger when I was new to blogging. The main reason for using the Blogger was it's free, 60 languages available, and easy to use.

Top 10 Reasons Why Blogger is the Best Blogging Platform

Zero Cost Blog

As a long-time member of a blogger, I confirm that it is a free blogging platform. You have to pay nothing for hosting or blogging software. If you want a custom domain for your blog, then the only thing you have to pay for is the domain registration fee.

High Level of Customization

If you know about HTML coding, then you can directly customize your blog structure. Like WordPress, the Blogger also provides free theme options that you can further customize for the color scheme, layout, and third-party widgets.

You can also add third-party widgets like the Facebook page, push notification, and many more.

Free and 100% Uptime Hosting from Google.

With Blogger, anyone can create a completely free blog without paying a single coin. Blogger's free blog includes 99.99% Uptime running hosting and some free themes for your blog and a subdomain.

As compared to other blogging platforms, Google provides all these blogging features for completely free.

Blogger.com blog can be integrated with Google product suite like Google analytics, google search console, google drive, calendar, Gmail, forums, etc. You will get video and photo management with google drive option there.

For taking surveys or other user inputs, you can embed google forums directly to your blog post or page.

Secured by Google with SSL

Till starting of 2019, Google wasn't providing any SLL or https option in its settings. But later in 2019, Google adds up SSL or https option for every blog user to make the platform secure.

Google provides this SSL or https option for free without any hidden charges. This SSL or secured server helps in better SEO rankings as well.
