There has been recently peaceful contest;) between free domain and custom domain as to which one is the best in which i've decided to use this post to settle the matter.*lol*
The thing is Free Domain is
good but if you really want
the best for your blog, i recommended getting a custom domain.
So why do i recommend you to get a domain for your blog?
Like i said earlier free domain is good and can be helpful but the fact still remains the same that custom domain rules over free domain.
To cut the story short, lets head over to the advantages of both the two in which you're to decide which one suit you better.
*. Free Domain Advantages.
What Does Free Domain Name Means? - Free domain just as its name implies means you get a domain for free which is usually
yourname.(hostname).com, for example
yourname.blogspot.com, yourname.wordpress.com, and co.

Advantages.
1) You have not to worry about renewing your domain nor your domain name *expiring+ as it is free forever (except your hostname gives up;) which is 80% impossible.
2) Unlike what most people think, its possible for your blog to become popular on *free domain*. Even though it isn't guaranteed but there is possibility of it. Take for instance LindaIkeji.blogspot.com, helplogger.blogspot.com, crawlingoutoftheclassroom.wordpress.com(No 17 out of Top 100 wp blogs) and others to mention few.
*. Custom Domain Advantages.
What does Custom Domain Means? - Custom Domain simply means customizing your blog's domain by
purchasing a domain. It can be
yourblogname.com, yourblogname.net, yourblogname.biz, and others.
Advantages.
1. Custom Domain makes your blog looks good on the internet and also makes it sound professional when you want to share it with someone or somewhere. Try Comparing
yourname.blogspot.com to
yourname.com, you would notice there is a big difference.
2. Trusted than Free Domain - If your blog is to be used for official or business purposes, i'd recommend you get a custom domain. This allows your clients or customer to trust you more than your blog bearing the name of a free domain.

In as much as the free domain is free and you need not renew it, i still buy your idea on this one
ReplyDeleteYou only get serious with a free domain if it's earning you some cash. Otherwise you will abandon it unlike a custom domain as you'll be spending your money to renew it and thus be serious with it.
ReplyDeleteAny top blogger still using blogspot is because he or she know their upgrading their adsense won't work.
