   Thanks so much for the response. I have refunded 73$ now and I still retain my domain name.
   There is a problem now. I goto BLUEHOST and insert my domain name to register and it requires a password to verify I am the owner
   I typed my password and it cannot login. And I am sure of my password.
   Please help … Thanks in anticipation

   I will use your coupon code for bluehost. If I want a refund of my 99$.can I take all full refund or I still leave my domain name with them. Tho its just 36hours now that I registered. Which do you recommend? Take all 99 and goto bluehost for all or take 73 and pay them for domain?

   Yanıtla

   • Editorial Staff

     Hey Macc,

     You can’t get a refund on a domain name. So probably best to get a refund and move to Bluehost. You can point your domain to Bluehost.

   I just purcahsed a domain and hosting from wordpress.com at 99$. Now I started seeing the diffs btw wordpress.com and .org
   My question is
   Can I go take a refund of my 99$, and then goto bluehost for hosting and get to wordpress.org
   Or
   I just export my files as youve said and leave the 99$. And I am still going to pay for bluehost again?
   Please I am confused. In a nutshell. Since I already purchased a premium plan from wordpress.com. Will I still pay to bluehost for another host again cos I want to migrate to wordpress.org? Cos I am a begginer and no money.

   my question. I am not a blogger. I just need a website for my business with:

   1. about page with my pictures
   2. pages (maybe two additoinal) services (not selling just telling what my business has and contact me)
   3. three emails with business domain (i have domanin)
   4. maybe a contact form
   5. maybe a newsletter (maybe in the future but not now)
   6. no sponsors – but links to certifications, etc.
   7. job postings

   It seems as though the wordpress.com premium would benefit me.

   Can you please direct me if this .com would be the best option? Thanks!

     You can do all these things using the self hosted WordPress.org as well. This will give you much more flexibility to grow your business in the future. See our guide on the limitations of WordPress.com

   What about the paid WordPress.com plans (personal, premium, business)? How do they compare to WordPress.org? I don’t have a lot of disposable income, especially for a blog that’s not currently generating any money, but I’d like to add some scripts for Google Analytics and a couple of affiliate programs. The personal plan is reasonably priced but WordPress does not make it at all clear what kind of benefits are included in comparison to the free plan. And what is the difference between the premium plan and WordPress.org? The features seem to be almost identical.

      Hi François,

      1. You will not have to pay for WordPress.com Premium. However, you will have to pay for your domain when its registration expires.

      2. You can use any computer PC or Mac to update and manage your site.

      3. You can add posts with an iPad.

    Hi,

    I have used the free WordPress website for about two years to blog pictures and memories
    and have used up the 3 GB. I just would like the least amount money spent on something for a blog to post pictures and videos for my kids to read one day. At this light, I posted a lot of pics which is why I’ve used up the 3GB. Is there one you’d recommend? I thought there is one that is about $100 a year for 15 GB. What happens, though, after you use up 15 GB? Do you have to pay the higher membership or just it restart every year? Also, I thought I read something here differently that says you can pay just $20 a year for more GB but perhaps less than 15 GB. Is that correct? Any thoughts would be helpful as I’m not computer savvy. Just want to write online with pics one day for my kids to possibly read one day. Thank you for any help!

    With free wordpress.com blog, you can’t do much as they have limited features but with wordpress.org, you can add as many features as you want through WordPress plugins. There are so many plugins available online in both free as well as paid options. So my choice would be wordpress.org.

    2) Do I need a .org site to use my own plug-ins?

      1. No, you can’t.

    Now I feel like I wasted my money since I wanted to do my blog and use it also for affiliate marketing.

    Would you recommend just to start with wordpress.com since I just paid $99 for a year to have it premium?

    Please let me know your thoughts.

      WordPress.com premium plans can be canceled and refunded with in 30 days of purchase. Please contact WordPress.com support for more details on that. Your domain registration price will probably be deducted from total cost of premium plan. But you will be able to keep the domain and use it with self hosted WordPress.org website.

    Hi, thanks for all this helpful information.

    Yanıtla

    • WPBeginner Support

      MAMP is a package that you can install on your Mac computer and test drive WordPress on your own computer. Only you will be able to see and work on your WordPress site with MAMP on your computer.

      Self hosted WordPress.org sites need hosting. BlueHost is a WordPress hosting provider. You signup for their service and then install WordPress on their servers. This way your website will be available on the web for everyone.

    I agree with WANDERINGJULIA. Another take on it is this. I am fully able to handle a self-hosted site. Heck, I even wrote my own theme (PHP), associated CSS, coincident HTML, and added web art (SVG and various and sundry other images). I have four sites on that provider, all registered elsewhere. One is my wife’s. It occurred to me, what if I get run over by a semi? I don’t necessarily care that my blog will whither and waste away, but it might indeed be nice were my wife to have one easy place to logon and get to her stuff (without going to at least two places to pay bills and at least two others to fiddle with somewhat complex control panels). For such a niche case, WordPress.com might be the answer.

    [Off topic: a cost you didn’t mention for self-hosted blogs, versus WordPress.com: HTTPS encryption. WordPress.com provides it free and automatically; on a self-hosted blog one must buy a certificate, and garner the skill to install it.]

    A thorough elucidation of the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org platforms. In my opinion, WordPress.com is suitable for blogs with which are not meant for any commercial gain.

    Having self hosting service gives more services, full control on server and have our fresh domain with proper keyword. While free hosting services have some restrictions and we do not get access to all other plugins, features which we want in our site. If any one planning blog, website for their business then self web hosting is the best option for them.

    Using BlueHost, while selecting their entry level domain they offer .org .com etc. Between their domain options .com and .org is there a difference or limiting factor to .com? After reading this post I feel like the startup at wordpress.com is the limiting factor because it isn’t self hosted unlike a domain through BlueHost. A dot com with my domain through BH isn’t a deciding factor on what kind of options and plugins I would want to use compared to what I started with through wordpress.com, right?

    Awesome report. Totally informative. I already have a registered domain of my own. I transferred from blogspot to WordPress. While blogger asks zero dollar to setup a custom domain which is already registered, WordPress costs certain amount of money. Which means, I have already registered a domain from another company/registrar and I have to pay double ( domain tax + WordPress tax ) . That’s a loss in my mind. The domain which I registered was a national domain from a country and that domain is not available to register anywhere else. In the same way, I don’t want to pay extra money to WordPress. So please I need your help and suggestion on this. I might be switching back to blogspot if needed.

    Thank you so much for this brilliant post. I bought both my website domain names through WordPress.com and was therefore never given the option to choose a host. I was mentally running around in circles confused as to why I never chose a host. Thank you for explaining. WordPress.com works perfectly for my personal goals as of now. As I become more of a professional in my field that may change and I will adapt my websites accordingly.

    This is a brilliant post and just what I’ve been looking for. I’ve had a blog for several weeks now and realise that wordpress is a bit limiting and also very expensive if you want to upgrade.

I’ve had a test run and now just need to take the plunge to transfer everything over.

    from my experience with FREE sites, all providers will delete your site at a certain time, regardless of any thing. they give you free space to see if you can get bigger or not, if not then there is no reason for them bother but if you get bigger they would want money for that or they will wipe you off

    For me one of the main issues with self-hosting is the lack of a platform to share the content. Sure, you can tweet your posts but that can be a lot of work for little return. Can anyone help me understand how some self-hosted blogs manage to get their content to mirror in the WordPress.com Reader? I have read that this is not allowed yet see it all the time – most recently with some major news outlets such as the New York Post (presumably they pay for a VIP service?)

    Hello, thanks for this post. The content and the commens are a great beginner’s guide. I have a blog running on wordpress.com, I started the blog about seven months ago and I am absolutely enjoying myself, do you know why? Yes, I want to make money with it, but not FROM it, I want to make money THROUGH it. This is how, I am a businessman who believes in a building first, a brand with a good and a growing GOODWILL, a goodwill which is trusted by many. Then, one could leverage on the goodwill to make money. You can use your blog to make a name for yourself and use that name to sell yourself to individual and corporate clients. So, whether wordpress.com or wordpress.org, one should on a process which begins with the building a BRAND.

    I’ve built a couple of websites and am maintaining one for my church. I don’t know what tool that site was built with but one of the great things about it is I was given a full, functioning copy of the website on a CD when I took over.

    I wanted a tool that would let me build and tune a site before putting in on some server somewhere and would have complete control over it.

    There is a version of WordPress we can get from Microsoft for free (along with Microsoft “WebMatrix”. It seems to be exactly what I was looking for.

    I’m about to transfer my wordpress.com to a self-hosted site and truth is I’m starting to feel torn about it.

    From my perspective, there’s no comparing wordpress.com and wordpress.org. Here is why. I see that most of the people who choose wordpress.org do it for the revenue. By the sound of it, they do it for the money they save, the versatility in appearance, and most especially the ads they profit from. Truthfully, this is what drew me to wordpress.org as well.

    However, I’m realizing more and more that I blog not make money. I blog to share content. I blog to have my voice be heard. I don’t blog for bottomless plugins or endless themes. I blog first and foremost because I have something I want to share, and not to make money.

    WordPress.com gives me a great space for that. I get to be part of an active community that sees me easily and responds to me immediately. WordPress.com lets people find me right off the bat and my content becomes relevant.

    WordPress.org on the other hand, despite all the freedom it can give you in terms of managing your blog, doesn’t give you that community. You’re a lone wolf, so to speak, in the super dense world of the interwebs, and you’ll have to work that much harder to get your voice across and be heard.

    So if you’re a business or a company with a certain look, or if you sell stuff, or you want to make money, yes, wordpress.org is great. But if you want to share your voice and be part of a community that acknowledges, hears, and discusses your thoughts with you, wordpress.com is the place. Plugins and customization and all else are just fluff you may not even need.

    I have a blog at wordpress.com and there are some issues that are not been talked here. One huge annoyance is that whatever I might type in the text editor, it get’s re-parsed. Sometimes I want to keep my table’s rows as rows but wordpress.com has to split each little td in a separate line. Also I hate the fact that the editor is so small. I make coding tutorials that tend to be huge and with the current setup it makes it a nightmare to find the correct paragraph of my post.

48. WPBeginner Staff

    Using a self hosted WordPress.org site means that you get full control on your website.

    This will allow you to install any plugin you want including the plugins for recipes.

    You will have to maintain your website. This means you will have to make sure your site is up to date using the latest version of WordPress and all plugins and themes. This might sound like a lot of work, but actually WordPress has a built in update system so all you will have to do is to click on the update button.

    As for backups, there are several WordPress plugins which automatically create backup of your website and store it to your dropbox, google drive, or anyother desired location.

    Hope this answered your question.
