your web stories.

MakeStories and
Newsroom AI and connect
your domain there and buy a hosting in their platform or you can connect
your own hosting.
They will create a separate path for your stories like
(https://website.com/story/), also you can connect your subdomain
to that platform and also you need to buy a hosting or use your existing
hosting.

your web story to your existing hosting or you can buy a separate
hosting for your web story. In both cases, hosting is
needed.
But in
blogger you can't able to connect the blogger hosting with that
platforms. Either you can create a post in blogger and put your
web stories there and update your web stories by updating that
post. But you need to work manually on the web story coding if you
want to do like that.
If you are using a free subdomain in blogger then there is not a way
