Yes, Blogger offers free blog hosting, and you can even make a little money from it if you want to accept ads.
1. Learn the Ropes at Blogger
Starting on Blogger and taking advantage of its free offerings helps you learn the ropes of blogging. You're not going to become the next internet sensation overnight, so you don't need to spend all your money on hosting fees.
We can move archived blog posts wherever we need to move them when striking big. Your feed can transfer, too.
The barrier that holds people back from starting a blog on Blogger is a misconception that Blogger doesn't let you use your URL.
2. Add a Custom Domain
Blogger has allowed custom URLs for quite some time, and they currently integrate with Google Domains for easy domain registration as you create your blog. A custom URL with Blogger costs only a few dollars, and you don't have to put any ads on your site. If you place ads, then you make a profit.
When you register your blog from scratch, a dialog asks if you'd like to set up a domain.
If you're editing an existing blog, go into Settings: Basic and choose +Add a custom domain.
You can add an existing domain you've already registered or register a new "domain" right on the spot. It costs only a few dollars, and registration is easy.
Free hosting, ads that potentially make you money (if you want to show them at all), and cheap domain registration—all this makes Blogger appealing to the new blogger.
3. Customize Your Blog's Appearance
Blogger used to force your blog to display a Blogger Navbar that united all Blogger blogs, but you could remove it with a few settings tweaks. However, Blogger no longer shows the Navbar.
Choose among several default templates or upload your template.
Pick from a collection of free and paid templates that customize a blog's appearance.
You can further customize your blog with gadgets.
Google offers a large selection of "Gadgets" and, if you have the skills, you can create and upload your "Gadgets".
4. Monetize Your Blog
Blogger integrates Google AdSense ads easily. You can also work out deals with paid endorsements and other monetizing strategies. Just be sure to abide by Google's terms of service for both Blogger and AdSense.
AdSense won't place ads in adult-oriented material, for example.
