Hosted Blog Platforms




What is a hosted blog platform? This is the type of blog that are easy and quite cheap. The most popular of this system is Blogger.com. Others include WordPress.com and MSN Spaces and TypePad– although have the option to go with a type of standalone option also through remote hosting.

It is called ‘hosted’ blog platforms because they ‘host’ your blog on their own domain. It offers pretty easy set up process as they will give you a web address (URL) that will usually be some combination of their own URL and the name of your blog. The structure of the address has two elements, his blog’s name first and then the host like wordpress.com extension. This means that this blog is being ‘hosted’ by WordPress as opposed to the blogger having to organize and pay for that himself.
