I know I presently use blogger myself and I use custom domain names for some of them. One question I have is with the blogger platform are we still able to use it if we host it ourselves and does abyone know how to do that and point hosting to our own servers. Is there a blog post here on this or does someone know where there is a good one.

Love the blog and I will come back again for sure.

Sincerely,

GoGreenChum

But make sure the option stays open, in case you do decide to make the move.

It allows very decent freedom in design and customization options, a small amount of image hosting, and great tech support for free.I would prefer to have something that would process PHP or ASP.net so I could code my own site a little bit more thoroughly, but I will stick with Blogger until I feel that urge to get up and get hosted.

Blogger does, however, lack the ability to install plugins or PHP snippets to expand your blog’s feature set (look at the WordPress plugin directory for some examples of what plugins can do). Also, with Blogger you can’t have static pages (useful for contact forms, lengthy bios, etc). Just a couple examples.

If you’re happy with what you have, though, don’t feel like you need to switch. It’s good to keep the option open though, just in case you want to switch later.
