Blogger (service)

<p>Blogger is an American online <a href="/facts/Content_management_system/CCk4vIxV">content management system</a> founded in 1999 that enables its users to write <a href="/facts/Blog/bb6awu2X">blogs</a> with time-stamped entries. <a href="/facts/Pyra_Labs/WkIqe8eo">Pyra Labs</a> developed it before being acquired by <a href="/facts/Google/GT9Sugza">Google</a> in 2003. Google hosts the blogs, which can be accessed through a subdomain of blogspot.com. Blogs can also be accessed from a user-owned <a href="/facts/Domain_name/FDLD2m5G">custom domain</a> (such as www.example.com) by using <a href="/facts/Domain_Name_System/rfxdWFsj">DNS</a> facilities to direct a domain to Google's servers. A user can have up to 100 blogs or websites per account.
</p><p>Blogger enabled users to publish blogs and websites to their own web hosting server via <a href="/facts/File_Transfer_Protocol/THuWgzfw">FTP</a> until May 1, 2010. All such blogs and websites had to be redirected to a blogspot.com <a href="/facts/Subdomain/BM8N9jvH">subdomain</a> or point their own domain to Google's servers via <a href="/facts/Domain_Name_System/rfxdWFsj">DNS</a>.
