  Id like to use wordpress to build a site that will be on a local network only and will not be online. Can we export code or build a site and drop the folder into the local host

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  Hello,

  Yes, but in that case you can download WordPress.org
  Differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org

  Download WordPress.org here:

  Make backups frequently. Running locally increases the risk of losing information.

  hope this helps

  Another option is to create a site on WordPress.com and change the privacy settings.

  Select option:
  Private. Select this option to make your site private. If you want specific people to be able to view it (and add comments if you’ve enabled them), you’ll need to invite them.
