Wordpress is a Content Management System (CMS) and it has a site at
http://www.wordpress.com and an application that you can install on any hosting

http://www.wordpress.org. Most hosting companies don’t require you to download the
application from http://www.wordpress.org because they have it inbuilt and prepared for
you to install in almost all of their hosting packages. The best thing you should do
at this point is to pick a good hosting company that has wordpress prepared in their
hosting packages ready for you to install at the click of a button.

under a sub-domain like http://yourdomain.wordpress.com and access to install a
very nice theme from any other site will be restricted except the themes they will

this platform for opening their blog is that it has so many free plugins that make

great plugins associated with wordpress.
