What is the difference between WordPress.Com and WordPress.Org?

Everyone faces a common question before stepping into a blogging career: Should I start blogging with WordPress or Google Blogger? Many people suggest starting with WordPress, and many people suggest starting blogging with Google Blogger.

As a result, young bloggers cannot reach the right decision due to two consecutive suggestions. We will give correct and complete clear solutions to these questions.

But before getting a clear idea about whether to start blogging with Blogger or WordPress, you need to know the difference between WordPress.Com and WordPress.Org. 

In today's post, we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of WordPress.Com and WordPress.Org, and in the next post, we will discuss in detail whether Blogger or WordPress is perfect for you.

Although WordPress.Com and WordPress.Org seem to be the same, there are many differences between the two. Before writing about these two things, let me briefly say that WordPress.Com is a free basic version of WordPress. You can use it completely free of cost.

On the other hand, WordPress.Org is the full professional version of WordPress, which you have to buy and use hosting in exchange for money. You have to bear the full control and responsibility of it.

Which one should you use?

If you just want to use it as a personal blog without worrying about earning any money online, then you can easily use WordPress.Com completely free of cost. 

But if you want to take blogging as a career or want to earn money online by blogging, then of course I will tell everyone to use WordPress.Org in exchange for some money. Still, if you think you will use either of the two, then it is your personal matter.
