Blogspot vs Wordpress - SIM-2848601 - Jan 14, 2020
Hi,
I am planning to creat a blog. So basically, is it safe to register in Blogger or Wordpress then buy a domain and redirect those platform to my domain in a long run?
Or I should buy my own webhost, upload wordpress platform and buy a domain with it?
If it is safe, which one is better? Wordpress?

What do you mean by "safe"?
Wordpress is your best choice. You have all the control.

WordPress is easy to control, got useful plugins and doesn't really need a lot of coding or CSS to adjust the default themes.
SEO speaking I think Blogger would be better for a smaller website or blog, due to being from Google itself and easy to put a website referral link as URL, but for larger websites or blogs I'd choose WordPress due to plugins like Yoast SEO and others which make your SEO work on-page a bit easier.

I’d buy a domain and host it my self just better to control it yourself imo.
A good host I use for blogs is geekstorage
You’ll be able to install Wordpress from the Cpanel with ease, you can also buy a domain from them though I use name cheap for my domains.

WordPress would be a better choice, as it would give you full control over almost everything; from links to pages, you can modify them. Besides, SEO is paramount these days. Whereas Google Blogspot would be helpful in terms of Host, Domain (Google would provide that), but a lot of constraints would be there.
Nevertheless, everything comes with pros and cons, although WordPress is the best choice!

Sure, here is two plugins for that:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/blogger-importer-extended/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/blogger-to-wordpress-redirection/

Wordpress is much better than Blogspot nowadays. So you can use WordPress.
RE: Blogspot vs Wordpress - 0to1 - Jan 30, 2020
Wordpress.ORG, not Wordpress.com. Self-hosted, many good themes around, useful plugins, good for SEO, etc the list goes on. You have control over your virtual real estate.
