Wordpress vs. Blogger for a domain?

by nmh
6 replies
Here is my issue..I have a ton of domains that are just sitting around that I can use. I don't really want to pay to host all of them but just set up something on the domains or point them to some other sites of mine. I know Blogger is hosted by Google and I have not used Wordpress before but does Wordpress function the same way in that you don't have to host it?

If they both do function in that way, which one has more flexibility AND which one will rank better in a search?

I hope this makes sense.

THANKS!

    you can host all your domains at hostgator for one low fee

    Wordpress is the favoured platform with thousands of themes and plugins available.

    I'm with Graham, hosting is cheap, not a good excuse these days. Giving control over to some one else when your not hosting it.

    A word of warning on HostGator hosting all of your domains and putting WordPress on them. WordPress is resource intensive and should you do things right and pull in a lot of traffic you'll eat up all your bandwidth quickly and may cause your account to exceed other thresholds for shared hosting. It's not that there's anything wrong with HostGator, they're great, but they have to take all of their customers into account when it comes to shared hosting.

    I'd recommend limiting it to about 50 WordPress (or other database based script) domains to insure that you stay on the safe side. Of course, you can host a lot more static HTML sites that have a much lower processing footprint.
