    Free blogger.com site vs. paid services


    What are all the advantages and disadvantages of the two ?

    Paid services
    e.g. TypePad or others

    For using free blogger.com site,
    i really not sure if my content there will be removed and deleted without notice.

    Please share your experience.

    - Using Blogger is unprofessional for uses other then angry kid diary (even active ones should get a real blog)

    - Blogger is a subdomain, you dont own it, it can be revoked.

    These are the major flaws, its just that your not hosting yourself and the information can be lost if they feel like it. Why have your property in other people's hands?

    Also on the engines it can be a downside since its automaticly considered a blog which can have a down-side.

    Just use wordpress its FREE open-source, just get hosting if you dont already and a domain and your set to go like taco bell :D

    Use blogger only if you have no knowledge / time to set a proper web site and domain name.

    Blogger is meant for the common internet user, whose only aim is to write a few lines here and there and is not really serious about it.

    Using wordpress and own domain name is always a better option for those looking for serious blogging.
