Running a blog is a regular thing in 2025. Everybody from a student to a retired lawyer has their own hosted website. People use it for different purposes. Some make money, some share reviews or use it as a public diary. Here are some examples of using different blogging platforms:<\/p>\n

– Cuts and Bruises Barbershop<\/a> created on Wix.<\/strong>
\n– evolutionwriters reviews<\/a> page on a blog hosted by wordpress.com.<\/strong>
\n– Jesse Weaver\u2019s publications<\/a> on Medium.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The WordPress<\/a> started a new era in blogging. People have an opportunity to create a\u00a0customized website without spending a dime (not always). There are many services on the\u00a0web offering using their platform. This article will help you to choose a suitable website\u00a0according to your goals.<\/p>\n

Before choosing a blogging platform it is necessary to define what you\u2019re looking for. If it is your\u00a0first experience you will want an easy builder that doesn\u2019t require any coding skills. You may\u00a0want to change your blog\u2019s appearance with the grow of its popularity. Probably, you will start\u00a0making money and you\u2019ll have to make it secure. You should keep in mind what kind of blog
\nyou are creating now and what it will be in the future. When pondering is done you can start\u00a0reading the pros and cons of the best blogging platforms for beginners:<\/p>\n

Wix.com<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Wix is a website<\/a> builder that doesn\u2019t require any special coding skills. Simple drag and drop\u00a0tools let you create a stunning website in minutes. Also, you can add a blog<\/a> section to your\u00a0website using the Wix<\/a> Blog app. 110 million users currently have a Wix\u2019s website across the\u00a0globe.<\/p>\n

Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Quick and easy setup.
\n– You can build a website even if you don\u2019t know what HTML is.
\n– Fascinating customizing utilities.<\/p>\n

Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n

– The free membership is strongly limited and you have to pay for the coolest features.
\n– You can\u2019t change a chosen template.
\n– Limited using of free third-party apps.<\/p>\n

Pricing<\/strong><\/p>\n

WordPress.com<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

WordPress.com (don\u2019t confuse with WordPress.org<\/a>) offers a blog hosting on a sub-domain for\u00a0free. Additional options like a customized URL, extra storage and featured themes are for\u00a0purchasing. It is a perfect choice for people who are not looking for money blogging.<\/p>\n

Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n

– No setup.
\n– It is totally free if you are satisfied with running a sub-domain.
\n– Intuitive nature of the user control panel.<\/p>\n

Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n

– You don\u2019t have a possibility to run advertisements on your website, but WordPress will show\u00a0their ads on your website.
\n– You are not the owner of your blog.
\n– Limited customizing options.<\/p>\n

Pricing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Basic WordPress blog: Free.
\nCustom domain name and removing the WordPress logo and advertisements: $4\/month.
\nAdditional design tools: $8\/month.<\/p>\n

Blogger<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

In my opinion, Blogger<\/a> is a perfect choice for those who aren\u2019t going to run a money making\u00a0website but want to have some fun. Blogger is a free service created by Google. It was launched\u00a0in 1999 and redesigned in 2003.<\/p>\n

Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n

– It is absolutely free.
\n– No technical skills are required.

Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Google can suspend your blog or even cancel the service at any time.
\n– Blogger doesn\u2019t provide an opportunity to customize your blog.
\n– This platform doesn\u2019t get frequent updates and bug fixing.<\/p>\n

Pricing<\/strong>
\nBlogger offers a sub-domain and all tools for free.<\/p>\n

Tumblr<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

There is one big difference between Tumblr<\/a> and other blogging platforms. Tumblr is a\u00a0microblogging platform. It has features that are similar to social network\u2019s ones, namely\u00a0following other people, sharing tools and reblogging. In short, it is a social blogging platform.<\/p>\n

Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Free sub-domain.
\n– It is very easy to use.
\n– Integrated social media components.
\n– An opportunity to use GIFs, audio and video formats.<\/p>\n

Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Tumblr has a limited set of customizing tools.
\n– It is difficult to import your Tumblr blog to other platforms.<\/p>\n

Pricing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Basic Tumblr blog with on a sub-domain: Free.
\nAdditional themes: Free.<\/p>\n

Medium<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Medium took its beginning in 2012. It has grown into a community of writers, bloggers, and\u00a0journalists. It is not a usual blogging platform. You create an account on a host domain and start\u00a0publishing articles. You don\u2019t have any customizing features.<\/p>\n

Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n

– There is no setup required.
\n– Medium gives a chance to reach a big amount of readers without advertising.
\n– You can focus on writing and don\u2019t think of your blog\u2019s design.<\/p>\n

Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Medium is not suitable for building a brand.
\n– You have a profile page instead of your own domain.
\n– There is no opportunity to run advertisements on your blog.<\/p>\n

Pricing<\/strong>
\nMedium is free to use.<\/p>\n

Choose your destiny.<\/strong>
\nEach platform can be the best for certain purposes. I hope this article helped you to clarify what\u00a0kind of a blogging platform you actually need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
