Do not confuse WordPress.org and WordPress.com!

 


Do not confuse WordPress.org and WordPress.com!

The features of WordPress.com:

  • WordPress.com is a platform for creating and managing your site.
  • It is similar to solutions like Wix for example.
  • You do not have to subscribe to a hosting solution since the platform takes care of it.
  • You will be able to benefit from a free domain name ending in .wordpress.com and if you want to change the extension, you will need to upgrade to a premium (paid) offer.
  • You don't need to worry about updates or security because the platform handles this for you.
  • On the other hand, you will not be able to install all the themes or plugins that you want. You can only choose from the official catalog.
  • You will not be able to customize the code and design of your site as you wish.

 

The features of WordPress.org:

  • WordPress.org is a free and open source solution.
  • You download the software (files) for free and freely and you can use it as you wish.
  • You will need to subscribe to a hosting offer as well as a domain name to be able to start the installation of your WordPress site.
  • You will need to have some technical knowledge to achieve this.
  • You will have to maintain your site yourself: maintenance, updates and security.
  • You can customize your site endlessly.
  • Your site will generally rank better on Google than a solution like WordPress.orf or Wix.com ... But you will obviously need to optimize your SEO to achieve this.
  • You will know no limits.
  • Ultimately, WordPress.org is a cheaper and more flexible solution than WordPress.com .
