Why Start a Technical Blog

1

WordPress.com

You need a website where you can post your blog. The best option is to have your own website and your own domain name. When you post to your own website, your blogs will always be your content and you do not need to give away the ownership of what you have written. An own domain name will be better for search results and it will be easier to move your website to another provider when necessary. I did not want to spend a lot of time for maintaining the website and I chose to publish at WordPress. I started with the Free Plan but I shifted some time ago to the Personal Plan. It costs a small amount of money and in return you can disable advertisements and you receive customer support, which, in my experience, has been good up till now. I started also with acquiring a domain name, but switched to another registrar later on. I did not know that my personal information was published publicly at the first registrar I used. This resulted in an increasing amount of spam to my mail account. So, take a registrar where your personal details can be kept anonymous for the main public (the so called whois information).

Medium

If you do not want to maintain your own website, then you can choose websites where you can post your blogs. I can recommend DZone and dev.to. Medium is also a popular website for blogs, but your content cannot be published again outside of Medium. So for me, this is a no-go. I also publish at DZone and dev.to, but I will explain this in one of the next sections.
