  It really depends on your business, your website needs and your tech savvy.

  Here’s the breakdown of the differences:

  In short I’d say .com is easier, more secure, and makes it easier to get fast, easy to understand, support. One the other hand, .org offers much more flexibility.

  Personally, I think many people assume they need more flexibility and options (with plugins and the like) than they really do and end up setting up .org installs when they really don’t have the technical expertise to do the care and feeding required for the site, but then I’m a .com fangirl, so perhaps you should take my advice with a grain of salt. :)

  You’ll see this link if you get to the bottom of the com vs. org support page, but I wanted to make sure you saw it, so I’m linking it separately as well: http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/11/14/com-or-org/
