    Hi,

    When deciding between WordPress.com and WordPress.org for your website, the key difference is hosting and managing the backend.

    WordPress.com is a hosted platform, meaning it hosts and manages the software for you. This makes it more user-friendly for beginners or those who prefer a hands-off approach. It offers free and paid plans, but customizations and monetization are limited.

    On the other hand, WordPress.org is an open-source software that you self-host, giving you full control over your website, the ability to install custom themes and plugins, and more freedom to monetize your site. However, this means you’re responsible for maintaining the website, including updates, backups, and security. Choose WordPress.com if you’re looking for convenience and ease of use or WordPress.org if you need flexibility and full control over your site’s design and functionality.
