What is the Difference between Wordpress.com and Wordpress.org

Wordpress is an open source platform to create websites and blogs. People get confused when listen about wordpress.org and wordpress. com, In this article I have explained the difference between Wordpress.com and Wordpress.org.

What is the Difference between Wordpress.com and Wordpress.org

What is the Difference between Wordpress.com and Wordpress.org

Wordpress.org

Wordpress.org hosts the wordpress software itself, anybody can download it and use it, at a website. Learn here (How to download and Install Wordpress on local Computer)

Wordpress.com

Wordpress.com is managed hosting for wordpress sites, All wordpress features and security is managed by wordpress.com.

Pros and Cons of Wordpress.org and Worpress.com

Wordpress.com

Wordpress.com is very fast to set up.
The free version of hosting includes .worpress.com in its URL e.g (https:pakwebdevelopement.blogspot.wordpress.com). Premium version provides you more opportunities and space. But it’s more expensive than a self hosted version of WordPress.
At wordpress.com you can’t install your own theme or plugin, you have to use only themes and plugins available on wordpress.
With Wordpress.com you don’t have full control on your site.
Wordpress.com is fast, free but having less functionality.

Wordpress.org

Wordpress.org provides you flexibility, functionality and full control.
You can host wordpress setup downloaded from wordpress.org at any hosting site.
