Blogging had sprouted rapidly in India in the past decade. From personal blogs to business and news sites, bloggers need an easy-to-use, SEO-friendly, and underwhelming blogging platform today. The platform you select plays a very important role on your traffic, rankings and how much money is going to make it.
In this post, we bring you the top 10 blogging sites in India (we’ll count backwards from 10 to number 1 – so FSIblog is at number one).
1. FSIblog (International Blogging Platform)
FSI Blog is a multi-niche blogging platform that draws on knowledge and wisdom to bring together valuable insights under one digital roof. It is for those who like to explore many different areas of interest as well as those writers needing a place for their own thoughts. FSI Blog encompasses all kinds of things such as Education, Health, Finance, Technology, Hosting, News, Fashion, Travel and Business.
Why FSIblog is #1:
- Created taking Indian bloggers and businesses in mind
- Capable of setting up the site structure in SEO-friendly way for greater Google ranking
- Simple-to-use dashboard for publishing with ease
- Quick load speed as well as mobile friendly
- Perfect for news blogs, niche blogs, and affiliate websites
FSIblog is the ideal solution for people who prefer to concentrate on content and ranking instead of dealing with hosting, plugins or coding.
2. WordPress.org
WordPress.org is popular globally and in India. WordPress drives nearly 40 percent of the websites on the web.
Key Features:
- Complete control over your blog
- Thousands of themes and plugins
- Great SEO plugins such as Yoast and Rank Math
- Great for pro-bloggers and businesses
However, WordPress.org also requires web hosting, domain management, as well as some technical skills that a beginner may find it pretty intimidating.
3. Blogger (Blogspot)
Blogspot, which is owned by Google, is a popular free blogging platform in India.
Advantages:
- 100% free with Google hosting
- Easy integration with Google AdSense
- Simple and beginner-friendly
Limitations:
- Limited customization
- Less control compared to WordPress
- Con isn’t for career professional blogging prospects
Blogger is best if you are new and want to start without investing.
4. Wix
Wix is a drag and drop website building tool popular among Indian content creators.
Why bloggers choose Wix:
- No coding required
- Beautiful pre-designed templates
- Built-in SEO tools
- Free and paid plans available
Wix is easy to use, but it’s less flexible in terms of power SEO than WordPress.
5. Medium
Medium is a platform for publishing content, nothing like your typical blogging site.
Key Highlights:
- No need for hosting or domain
- Built-in audience and high authority
- Clean and distraction-free writing experience
But bloggers do not own the audience or their website, so Medium is not fit for branding and monetization in the long term.
6. Ghost
Ghost is a modern content platform that provides all websites around the world with tools to become timelessly relevant.
Benefits:
- Clean and fast interface
- Strong SEO and performance
- Great for writers & subscription based blogs
Ghost is a good option for those bloggers who are after minimalist design and superior publishing features but then wish to have their blog’s software let us say more on the upgrade.
7. Squarespace
Squarespace is famous for its professional, high-quality design and easy-to-use interface.
Why it’s popular:
- Visually appealing templates
- All-in-one platform (hosting + design)
- Built-in analytics and SEO tools
It works best for portfolio blogs, travel blogs and creative writers – unless, of course, you’re located in India and the pricing is somewhat steep.
8. Weebly
Weebly is another good tool for beginners that offers drag-and-drop features.
Key Features:
- Easy setup
- Decent SEO tools
- Free and paid versions
It’s simple but doesn’t have the advanced blogging and SEO features required for competitive niches.
9. Tumblr
Tumblr is a micro-blogging website that appeals to young creators.
Best for:
- Short content
- Images, quotes, and creative posts
- Casual blogging
Tumblr is not good for business blogging or SEO-type posts – it’s perfect for creative expression.
10. HubSpot CMS
HubSpot CMS is a professional blogging and content management system designed for businesses.
Why businesses prefer it:
- Powerful content marketing tools
- Built-in CRM integration
- Strong SEO and analytics
One of many for corporate blogging and expensive for individual bloggers in India.
