Are you want to transfer blogger to WordPress website?
As we all know that blogger is free to use and you do not have to pay for it. But now you want to transfer blogger to WordPress website.
Here is the straight forward method to migrate blogger to WP and grow your website with the best tools. You will have more flexibility on WP.
WordPress is most Powerful CMS, 34% websites all over the internet using WordPress. The world’s top 14.7% websites are on WP.
Blogger.com is powered by Google, It lets us make a blog and we can run it for free. If you are a beginner then it’s ok for you.
If a user has many posts/pages and wants to add some extra features to control his website, there is no option to do in blogger.
Blogger has limited features and people want more advanced tools on their site. So, WordPress has more flexibility, more feature, and more tools.
You can Customize your site as much as you want on WP.
It is very confusing for beginners which hosting services choose for WP.
Its totally depends on you which hosting service are you using. I recommend you to choose cloud based hosting.
Which hosting do I use? Currently, I’m using NameCheap and you can also use it to host your website. It is cheap as compare to other services. Namecheap provides you with cloud services and it has also low rates.
Go now and explore these hosting websites. Find out which hosting is best for your business.
Now you need to install WordPress from your hosting. Go to cPanel on your hosting service. You will see WordPress, just click to install.
It will ask for some requirements then fill up. And again click on install, it will take time to set up your WordPress after a few seconds it will redirect to the WordPress admin panel.
