Understanding the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org is crucial for users.

WordPress.com

  • Ease of Use: It’s an all-in-one solution where hosting, backups, security, and updates are managed by Automattic.
  • Features: It offers free, personal, premium, business, and eCommerce plans, each with different levels of customization and control.
  • Limitations: The free plan has limited customization options, and you cannot upload custom themes or plugins unless you opt for a business plan or higher.

WordPress.org

  • Self-Hosted Platform: WordPress.org provides the WordPress software for free, which you can install on your own web host.
  • Full Control: You have complete control over your site, including the ability to upload themes and plugins.
  • Cost: While the software is free, you need to pay for hosting, domain, and potentially themes or plugins.
  • Responsibility: You’re responsible for maintaining your site, including backups, security, and updates.
