The advantages of using WordPress as your CMS to create a blog instead of blog hosting sites
WordPress is a content management system (CMS) that offers a high degree of customization and user-friendliness that's far beyond what's offered by blog hosting sites and even few other open-source CMSes provide. Even professional web developers don't hesitate to rely on it.
Thanks to the thousands of themes, extensions, and plugins available with this CMS, WordPress users can create a unique, high quality blog without running the risk of lengthening the time it takes to display the pages and host it on their own blog hosting service.
WordPress blogs emphasize content, which particularly as it benefits their ranking in search results. It also makes search engine optimization simpler thanks to a wide range SEO plugins that are easy to integrate.
Lastly, WordPress’s community is where this platform truly shines. In their online forum, you can communicate with people who have truly put their hearts into making the official forum as lively and useful as possible. It's possible to find answers to all your WordPress questions there.
All of this makes WordPress with blog web hosting a better option than blog hosting sites.
