Blogger vs Blogspot | Difference Between Blogger And Blogspot

Mostly newbies bloggers don't know a difference between Blogger and Blogspot. Sometimes it makes a big confusion for them. I will tell you about the Blogger vs Blogspot.

What Is Blogger?

 

• ● First thing come into your mind is that who owns blogger?
• ● Blogger or blogspot was launched on August 23, 1999, by Pyra Labs due to some reasons the company was bought by Google in 2003.

• ● Blogger is one of the best free platforms for newbies who want to start their website. Users don't need an old method to type a complete HTML/CSS code, design a website then buy a hosting server and run their website.

• ● You don't need to give any single amount in order to create your blogs. It gives you many themes and options to make your blog look professional and beautiful.

• ● You can also make an e-commerce, static, informative, photography, and news websites on blogger.

• ● Every new blogger starts its new journey form blogger. Many people are still using blogger instead of many other platforms like WordPress, Wix, etc.

What Is Blogspot?

• ● Blogspot is a sub-domain server. Basically in blogger when you create a website then you will get your domain with Blogspot. For example, when I create a website about tech and chose a Blogspot domain-like abultimateguides then my website will be shown as www.abultimateguides.blogspot.com.

• ● It also gives you a free domain but actually this will give you a subdomain because you are using it totally free but don't worry you can also remove it for that you have to buy a domain name from some websites like Godaddy, Namecheap, etc and after buying the domain add the custom domain into blogger dashboard after doing this domain your the domain will be replaced with your custom domain.

• ● For example, I am hosting on blogger and before buying a domain name I am using the domain with Blogspot (www.abultimateguides.blogspot.com) after I buy a domain name then I replace it with www.abultimateguides.com.

• ● Whenever we visit www.blogspot.com we redirect to www.blogger.com because Blogspot is a subpart of blogger without blogger, blogpsot is nothing it can only access with blogger.com.

• ● We cannot use Blogspot with other publishing companies if you are using Blogspot then you have to use it with this only.
