Blogmaker is a hosted blogging platform that lets individuals and businesses publish a blog on their own domain without managing plugins, servers or updates. It can run as a standalone blog or be added to an existing website at a /blog path. The company, BlogMaker LLC, says the service launched in 2021 and is independently run.
The platform covers writing, scheduling, SEO metadata, analytics, newsletters and contact forms in one dashboard. The site reports more than 400 hosted blogs and more than 8,000 published articles. Newer additions include editable AI drafting tools and an MCP connection for AI assistants, both tied to the Advanced plan.
Users create a blog, write in a focused editor, preview the result and publish. Hosting, HTTPS, backups and updates are handled by Blogmaker. A blog can use a custom domain, a subdomain such as blog.example.com, or a subdirectory such as example.com/blog.
The /blog setup is for Expert and Advanced plans. The user saves the path in Settings > Domain, keeps a separate Blogmaker origin, and configures the existing host to forward only /blog and its children. Cloudflare and Netlify instructions are provided, and a Verify setup action confirms the connection. The host must support a reverse proxy.
Existing blogs can be moved by sharing an export and URL list with support, who review the import scope and plan redirects before the live switch.
The editor handles long-form formatting, footnotes, a table of contents, code blocks, image galleries and reusable content. Posts can be scheduled, categorized and featured. Media comes from free Unsplash and Pexels search, direct uploads of images and MP4 or WebM video up to 50 MB, or embeds such as YouTube, Vimeo, podcast players and maps.
SEO tools include editable metadata, schema, sitemaps, social cards and a one-click AI action that suggests search and social text. Built-in analytics show traffic, sources and top posts. Native forms support newsletters, email capture and contact messages. DesignStudio adjusts colors, typography and layout, and two-step verification is available on every account.
Blogmaker is a hosted blogging platform that lets you publish an SEO-ready blog on your own domain or at a /blog path on an existing website. Hosting, HTTPS, backups and updates are managed by the company. It is run by BlogMaker LLC and launched in 2021.
Blogmaker has three yearly plans: Starter at $19 per year, Expert at $49 per year and Advanced at $99 per year. Plans are billed annually in USD and renew yearly. Upgrades are charged as the prorated difference.
The pricing page does not list a free plan or free trial. It does describe a 30-day refund policy for first purchases.
Yes, on the Expert and Advanced plans. You save the path in Settings > Domain and configure your host to forward /blog to a Blogmaker origin. The host must support a reverse proxy, because DNS alone cannot route a path.
Yes, through MCP. You sign in, choose your blog and approve access without sharing an API key. Writing, uploads, publishing and analytics through MCP are included with Advanced, and eligible lower plans can read public content.
The company says migration is supported. You share your export and current URL list with support, who review import scope and plan redirects before you switch the live blog. Importing content does not guarantee unchanged URLs.
Yes. Starter and Expert include one author, and Advanced includes two authors per blog. Authors publish under their own name and profile photo.
It suits individuals, creators and small businesses that want a managed blog with SEO, newsletters and analytics. Teams that want AI-assisted or automated publishing should look at Advanced.
