Good morning webmasters!

I want to create a site like blogger or hubpages where people can create blogs for free with sub-domains and as an option custom domain(for advanced bloggers).

Is there a php script already on the market I can buy or free to launch this project? Thanks!

Well, you may be able to find some open source codes out there, like boastMachine's (even though you may need to fix it up a little to make it work as a publishing platform), but in order to create a professional publishing platform you'll have to code it yourself. Using a script which source code is at the mercy of everyone is a really bad idea, considering how many security risks you'd have to face.
However, starting a platform like this from the ground up doesn't sound like a good plan. Not only it would take a lot of time to code everything properly, but you'd also have to face really tough competition; furthermore, hosting expenses would be insane, considering how much storage, processing power and physical servers you'd need to make all of the potential blogs run.
However, there's a much simpler way you can achieve this. Wordpress offers a Multisite feature, which lets you create multiple websites with a sub-domain of your choice: if you combine this with proper plugins, you can let people create new blogs/websites under your domain and manage them. Two plugins you can use for this are Status and (this is the one I recommend) Pro Sites.

I enabled Multisite feature while installing wordpress on my domain without knowing what it meant. Is there way to disable this option? I am having hard time customizing my site because of this feature. I have two dashboard one for the site I have and another, the main dashboard, for the sites that will be associated with this account. I have no intention of having many subdomains.

Yes, there is, and it's also fairly simple. You just have to follow three steps:

• Modify the wp-config.php file and delete these lines:
  

  define( 'MULTISITE', true );
  define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', false );
  $base = '/wordpress/';
  define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'localhost' );
  define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/wordpress/' );
  define( 'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
  define( 'BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );

  
  
  Also, change the parameter define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true); to false.
• Restore your old .htpaccess file (you probably had to modify it on your own, so all you have to do is delete the lines you added first; if you have never written anything in the first place, you probably don't have to touch anything here).
• Delete these files from your database: wp_blogs, wp_blogs_versions, wp_registration_log, wp_signups, wp_site and wp_sitemeta.

Once you do this, you should have disabled multisite on your website.

I am not a programmer, therefore, I do not know how to develop blogger like site for content creation. However, I am a wordpress user and I know you can create blogger like site in wordpress. While installing wordpress, you have to choose multi site option. Once you do that, users can create accounts on your site and create their own subdomain site. You will have to customize your multi site wordpress site with plugins.

I would suggest wix.com a free website builder platform.


They have both the free and the paid version as well. It is easy to use their website builder and they have many templates you can choose relevant to your subject.

Yep you could, but do you have the operation budget to do so?

If you want this site of yours to look the way you want with your own design, I recommend you start from scratch or hire a web programmer and graphics designer to do it for you. If you are able to it, you are good to go.

The think is, if you just copy paste the safe source code from a site like blogger etc, it will just look like another duplicate version of it, unless someone modified the code.

If you want a free script/source code, you could try your luck and GitHub

there are usually templates that are ready for usage, some are paid and some are free, you can just edit them, also there are tons of tutorials on youtube and websites explaining how blogging works, not a big deal

You can use the free version but all free versions always have a small problem. My advice would be to use a premium package you will have a guarantee that the script will have no problem. blogger works on XML script you do not need PHP

Blogging platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Open Blog, and Chyrp can be built using PHP scripts. Your particular demands and objectives will determine your option, and a web developer can assist in creating a solution specifically for you.

 

[Sokhov]

You can use WordPress as we all know which is a popular and powerful blogging platform that allows you to create and manage multiple websites with different themes and features.

Create the essential features and functionalities for your website, such as user registration and authentication, content creation and publishing, social media sharing, commenting, search capabilities, and analytics. Provide tools that let users efficiently produce, edit, and manage their content.
