Good reasons to host your indie game's site on BlogSpot:
- not only are there no hosting fees and no domain purchase fees, but you actually get paid ad revenue
- if you set it up correctly ads are non-intrusive
- can customize HTML and host nearly any type of content
- mobile-friendly version is automatically generated (check this site on a phone)
- site will be hosted free, forever, unless Google goes out of business (small chance)
- use Google Groups for a forum and no need for the headaches involved in hosting a message board and people can just log in with a Google account
Anyway, we are fairly impressed with BlogSpot so far.
