    Hi there @andysjr7330 thanks for asking, but I must admit that since you’ve posted this to the community forums for sites hosted by WordPress.com, the hosting provider, replies here are naturally going to be a bit biased. :)

    There are a lot of website builders out there. WordPress (the open source software) happens to be the most popular with the largest market share of known websites according to the W3Tech website.

    Hosting your own WordPress install on 3rd party hosting makes you the person responsible for upkeep and security. Here on WordPress.com (the hosted version of WordPress) those background services are performed behind the scenes by our Happiness Engineers. Still there is a learning curve involved regardless of whether you choose the open source WordPress software or the hosted version here on WordPress.com. You can learn more about the differences between them in this Support Guide.
