  Hi,

  Hope you can help, but we are considering either the .org or .com solutions for a wordpress site.

  We know that security can be a problem with a self hosted .org version, but what security can you offer with the .com version?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi pauljohnsonsoutron,

  Security is an priority consideration. Thousands of sites are hosted on WordPress.com which serves billions of pages a month. The team works 24/7 to make sure all of them are secure.

  For some tips of steps you can take to keep your site secure, have a look at:

  Also, have a look at WordPress VIP:

  Security is a huge topic but I hope this helps as a start :-).
