1. WordPress
It's easy to see why: on WordPress.com, you can rapidly create a new blog entirely for free, with a reasonable amount of customisation. Alternatively, most web hosts provide WordPress as a free single-click install, and more information on what's possible there can be found at WordPress.org.
The free version comes with the same limitations that we described above, so rest of this section will be about WORDPRESS.ORG (the self-hosted, paid version) that comes with access to a LOT more features.
By far the best part about WordPress.org is that you get access to THOUSANDS of plugins that allow you to customize your blog in a variety of ways, including adding contact forms, email forms, social media buttons, and so much more.
- More control over your blog design
- Access to thousands of plugins and themes to customize your blog
- Great customer support plus TONS of articles written on using the platform
- Easier to integrate with most other software as you grow your blog
2. Tumblr
Tumblr is a microblogging and social networking website founded by David Karp in 2007, and owned by Oath Inc. The service allows users to post multimedia and other content to a short-form blog. Users can follow other users' blogs
Decent mobile apps make it easy to submit content to a Tumblr blog from anywhere, though, and it's reasonably easy to customise your theme to make it your own.
Tumblr is a great place to network with other bloggers and content is shared regularly in the form of “re-posting.”
This adds an additional way to get exposure to your content that other platforms don’t have because it is somewhat of a “social” media platform itself.
Tumblr also has a strong social undercurrent, via a following model combined with notes and favourites.
3. Blogger
BlogSpot allows you to create a free blog, but it does have limitations.
However, as I mentioned above, for a beginner it is a great way to learn how to create a blog and begin the blogging process.
- Firstly, BlogSpot is a blogging platform powered by Google. It offers you an opportunity to start a blog, but all your images will be hosted by Picasa (also part of Google). BlogSpot, in this sense, is a Google-centric blogging platform.
- Secondly, if the goal of your blog is to make money and to have a blog that is professional in appearance, I would recommend that you create your blog using WordPress. It’s easy, and with the help of our exclusive free WordPress guide, you can create your blog in the next 60 minutes.
4. Wix
There is a free version as well, but it is even more limited than the free version of WordPress. There are very few customizations offered on the free version and you are stuck with Wix ads on your site.
On top of that you'll find over 500 designer-made templates as well as plenty of additional features and apps, along with top-grade hosting so you can rest assured your site will be there when you need it.
You get 500MB storage and 1GB bandwidth with a free Wix account; if you need more – plus other features like your own domain, and online store and Google Analytics – then take a look at its premium plans.
5. Weebly
Starting a blog with Weebly is simple. The flexible drag and drop interface helps you build blog content quickly. Powerful design and publishing elements let you focus on your content while Weebly services pull all the weight in the background.
However, blogging is also part of the system, and you get access to customisable layouts, a bunch of free themes, and the usual sharing features you'd expect, to spread your words far and wide.
Weebly is yet another drag-and-drop website building, although it’s lesser known than Wix and Squarespace and has fewer options.
Since the service is a website builder than a blogging platform, it is hard to compare with other ones. However, problems we found after the comparison with others are as follows.
- It is simple, not good for complex websites such as e-commerce one.
- Though there are some good templates, they are low in number, which affects selection.
- Features are basic, which means a professional blogger or internet marketer will just hate Weebly.
