A Custom Domain Published Blog Is Bound By TOS

Some blog owners like Blogger One Button Publishing - but they don't like the restrictions.

Possibly observing the chaotic freedom of WordPress self hosted blogs, they wonder if custom domain publishing provides the same freedom.

If I pay for my domain, can I host porn with ads?

Unfortunately, custom domain publishing, unlike WordPress self hosted blogs, still uses the Blogger dashboard - and still publishes content which is accessible using "blogspot.com".

A Blogger blog, published to a custom domain, is still hosted by Blogger - and has a "blogspot.com" URL.

All blogs, which have BlogSpot URLs, are subject to Blogger / Google standards.

All "blogspot.com" URLs - published natively, or to a custom domain - are subject to Blogger / Google laws and restrictions.

• Blogger Content Policy
• Google Terms of Service
• Blogger Policies

All laws apply to all blogs.

Any Blogger blog, with undesirable content, can be classified as abusive.

A Blogger blog, published with undesirable content, will be subject to content penalties.

• "Adult Content" interstitial display.
• Malware / Porn / Spam deletion.
• AdSense / Search Console penalties.

Whether published to BlogSpot, or non BlogSpot URL, Blogger has very real penalties. And both AdSense and Google Search may apply penalties separate from - and harsher than - Blogger.

Custom domain publishing is not "wordpress.org" self hosted content.

So no, with even a custom domain published blog, you are subject to Blogger / Google imposed laws. You simply cannot publish what you like, and ignore the penalties.
