A hosted blog vs your own website
Already have a website? Here's how to decide.
Your own website might already have your design, a store, subscribers and years of search history. A blog we host is the easy start for a channel that doesn't have a website yet.
| What you get | VideoToBlog.com | Your existing website |
|---|---|---|
| Getting started | Your blog is made when you add your channel. | Keep your site, design and tools as they are. |
| Publishing a post | Posts go live on their own, or wait for you as drafts. | Copy each post and paste it into your site's editor. |
| Address | A free videotoblog.com address, or your own domain. | Your current domain and links stay the same. |
| Other pages | Posts, an About page, a link page and guides built from your videos. | Whatever your site already does, like a store or memberships. |
| Moving things | Nothing to move. Try a new blog on a free address. | Nothing to move. Use the free converter and paste posts in. |
Which should you pick?
Keep your own website if its store, design or integrations matter most. Go with the hosted blog if your channel needs a blog and you'd rather not post every video by hand. We don't publish straight into WordPress today.
Your next upload could be a post by tonight.
