  Currently have a website that is written in WordPress but hosted on GoDaddy. Not sure of the tradeoffs.

  Hi! There are quite a few documents about the tradeoffs, but here’s one simple one we wrote:

  https://get.wp.com

  And this one is a bit more detailed:
  https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/#overview-of-options

  Other hosts have also written on this, so you’re welcome to get multiple takes. But the basic gist is: WordPress is free software. It’s largely DIY and you can install it on just about any hosting plan, or on your own servers, even.

  WordPress.com is a service: we provide managed SSL hosting, security, and support.

  Does that help? We’re happy to answer any questions you have.
