WordPress.org is a halfway house between full self hosting and using an online service that automates a lot of the hard work and
design for you. There is a learning curve, but with little or no experience you can set up your site and have full control over every aspect.
The WordPress way
Familiar, but different
Every other aspect of WordPress.org works
and feels like WordPress.com. The choice will
come down to the price you want to pay and
the amount of control you want over the design
and speed of your site.
WP Admin
The WP Admin screen lets you control your
databases, users, posts and every other aspect,
and it will likely become the screen you look at
more than any other as you continue to run your
website. It’s a practical resource.
Third-party
hosting
You will need to purchase
your own hosting to use the
.org solution and this brings
more complexity to the
setting up. Not all providers
are the same and so we
would advise to read up on
reviews to ensure reliability.
Jump around
The way WordPress.org works means that
you can move data between hosts and services
providing you have downloaded the software
and configured all of the settings accordingly.
Your database of content and media will always
be yours to use as you wish.
