Short answer for : you don’t have to buy separate hosting to “internalize” your blog — you can keep the Blogger backend and map it to a subdomain like blog.codingbrains.com, or you can move the posts into a self‑hosted section such as codingbrains.com/blog. Google’s official guidance is that subdomains and subfolders are both acceptable; choose the structure that’s easiest to maintain for your long‑term plan. Google Search Central FAQ. (developers.google.com)

If you want the lowest‑effort route and to keep using Blogger (no new hosting): point a subdomain at Blogger using its Custom Domain settings (add the CNAMEs and the optional A records, enable the redirect and HTTPS options). That keeps the blog on your brand domain without moving platforms. Make sure to verify the subdomain property in Search Console and use Blogger’s feed settings to redirect RSS subscribers if you switch feeds. · . ()

If you prefer full control (recommended when you want the blog to pass authority directly to your main site), install a CMS on your host and import the Blogger export (WordPress has a built‑in importer and there are migration plugins). After import, implement 301 redirects from each old Blogger URL to the new URLs and verify both old and new properties in Search Console so Google correctly transfers signals. Test redirects, submit sitemaps, and keep the old blog live until traffic has stabilized. WordPress: Importing content · Google: Moving content (301 best practices). (wordpress.org)

Quick checklist: export/back up your Blogger XML, decide subdomain vs subfolder based on management overhead, set up feed redirect and announce the change to followers, implement 301s (or a canonical strategy if you must keep both copies temporarily), verify properties in Search Console, and monitor traffic/coverage. As requested, decide whether you need to simply list links on your main site or serve full posts there — that choice drives whether you should map the blog or migrate it. Also note ’s caution about hosting features and ’s point that an internal blog helps internal linking — both are true; the technical route you pick should preserve followers and avoid duplicate content while consolidating SEO signals where possible.

If you want to create a blog on a domain you already own and administer, you would first have to check with your web host to determine if it supports the features required. For example, WordPress is popular for self-hosted blogs. Its minimum requirements are PHP version 5.2.4 or greater, and MySQL version 5.0 or greater. If your web host does not support these services, then you don't even have the option of adding a WordPress blog to your site; you might have to change web hosts or perhaps select a different blogging platform.

Once your new blog is set up, you would have to copy all your posts over from Blogger one-at-a-time. I am not aware of a service that allows you to conveniently copy all posts over from Blogger to a new blog.

In terms of SEO, I really don't know if there are any benefits to having a self-hosted blog or using a service like Blogger. And I don't think it matters if the URL of the blog takes the form blog.domain.com or domain.com/blog. It all depends on the quality of your content.

If your existing blog has PageRank that you would like to transfer over to the new blog, you should use a re-direct on the old pages, to send robots to the new pages. And you should get the old blog de-indexed so you don't get a duplicate content penalty in the search engines.
