Assalamu Alaikum. In the current digital age, having a website means having your own permanent address in the vast world of the internet. If you are a writer, designer or online entrepreneur, a website increases your profile several times. But a question always arises in the minds of beginners  , "Where should I create a website? On the free Blogger or on the professional WordPress?"

In today's mega guide, we will analyze these two platforms in detail and learn how to start your blogging journey.

In simple terms, website development is the process of creating a framework for displaying information on the internet. Earlier, to create a website, you had to know all the difficult coding like HTML, CSS or PHP. But now with the advent of Content Management Systems (CMS) like Blogger and WordPress, it is possible to create a website with just a click.

Why build a website?

1. Income from Google Adsense: When visitors come to your blog, Google will show ads there and you will get money.

2. Affiliate Marketing: Earn commissions by promoting other companies' products on your site.

3. Personal branding: This is the best way to showcase your portfolio for freelancing work.

​Chapter 2: Google Blogger (Blogger.com) – Heaven for Beginners

Blogger is a free service from Google. If you want to start with absolutely zero investment, then Blogger is the best for you.

Benefits of Blogger

  1. Completely Free: Here you don't have to pay anything for hosting. They even provide a free sub-domain (.blogspot.com).
  2. Security : Since it runs on Google's servers, there is no fear of being hacked.
  3. Simple interface: Those who are not very technical can use it very easily.
  4. Google AdSense: AdSense approval is available very quickly on Blogger.

Disadvantages of Blogger

  1. Ownership : Google can delete your site at any time (if you violate their policies).
  2. Limited design: Here you cannot change the design too much as you wish.
  3. No plugins There are no plugins for advanced features.

​Chapter 3: WordPress (WordPress.org) – The Professionals' First Choice

​About 43% of the world's websites are built on WordPress. It's an open source platform that gives you unlimited freedom.

Advantages of WordPress

  1. Full control: You own your site. No one can shut it down.
  2. Plugin capabilities: You can add any feature (e.g. payment gateway, contact form) to your site using thousands of free and paid plugins.
  3. SEO Friendly: WordPress SEO plugins (such as Yoast or RankMath) work like magic to rank in Google search.
  4. Endless themes: There are millions of ready-made themes available to choose how your website will look.

Disadvantages of WordPress

  1. Cost : Here you will need to buy a domain (name) and hosting (space). It may cost 3 to 5 thousand taka per year.
  2. Maintenance : You are responsible for backing up and updating the site.
  3. Security : If you don't use the right plugins, there is a risk of your site being hacked.

Chapter 6: A few words about domains and hosting

To build a website, you need to understand two things:

1. Domain: This is the name of your website (e.g. www.yoursite.com ).

2. Hosting: The online memory or space required to store your website information on the internet.

Tips : Always try to get a .com domain as it is the most accepted internationally.
