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.

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.
