Difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org

True. I just read through your thread again. Well, I know that with the .com extension you have no control over ads placed on your site, you can place ads unless you upgrade the plan and so on. The .org is better overall.

The basic plan with wordpress.com cost $5 per month but with this plan you cannot run ads, in order to run ads you need to buy business plan. Yes, org version is better.

I actually did not know the difference between wordpress.com and wordpress.org until before until I made some research. WordPress.com is for blogging especially free.

Wordpress.com and wordpress.org bth are free to use. But wordpress.com also has a premium version as free version gives you a subdomain and premium version gives you a custom domain.

When you decide to launch your website for the first time, perhaps wordpress is your first choice. A lot of people chose to blog with wordpress just because it is very popular and they also say it is easy to use and you don't need coding skills. I want to use wordpress, however, I was overwhelmed by a question. I see two different versions of wordpress, one is wordpress.com and another is wordpress.org. Can anyone tell me the difference?

I'm not into blogging for now but I don't would like to know mor about it as well. So am also in here to learn one or more two things about the two platform you made mentioned in here.

WordPress.com is a service that hosts your WordPress website for free. WordPress.org is the community that helps build WordPress and lets you download it and host it yourself. WordPress.com is free but restrictive. WordPress.org is free and unrestrictive but requires way more effort to manage it over time.

Wordpress.com youre using their product. Wordpress.org is an opensource free to use where you can take it on your own server and custom build it your way.. I honestly would always pick wordpress.org over .com any day.

WordPress.com and WordPress.org are owned by the same parent company. However the first is a free version provided to everyone with basic features while the second is a paid version with more features than the first.

Wordpress started as free blogging platform that allows people to build blogs for free and also by choosing the paid plan. Later wordpress developed as an open source content management system. I am using wordpress CMS since 2015.

If you got to know about this difference do tell us also because i was also thinking about making blog but i dont know which platform to opt for creating my blog. So kindly help me if you come to know about the details.

Considering the fact that WordPress seems to be popular and it doest not require coding skill,the difference is that .org is mostly related to the government.

Wordpress was originally launched as a blogging platform which was later developed as content management system. I have never used wordpress as blogging platform, but I use wordpress as content management system. Wordpress.com is blogging platform and wordpress.org is content management system
