   So I want to make the switch from Wordpress.com to Wordpress.org. Can wordpress.com HOST a wordpress.org? I plan to go with a different domain as well. Complete rebranding.
   Its been said over and over that wordpress has the best SEO. I want to make sure that whatever host I use has the best SEO. Thank you.

   Thanks for such an insightful article. I have been going back and forth trying to decide on a platform to start on for blogging and ecommerce. This article cleared up a lot of the confusion I had between Wordpress.org and Wordpress.com., and has helped me make a decision on which would be the best route to take. I have been back and forth with the many different sites such as Shopify, Bigcommerce, Woocommerce, etc. for ecommerce and didn’t feel like any of those had exactly what I was looking for. I felt like they were still missing something. Wordpress kept coming up and I was very hesitant on whether or not WP would give me the freedom of customization that I was searching for to make the site truly mine. Cost to get started was also something that was an issue and looking at this nice breakdown that you’ve provided makes it clear for me to choose which would be the best option to accomplish my goals!

   I am in the process of freelancing websites for small businesses.

   When it comes to hosting a bit ignorant on the topic though.

   How does self-hosting with Bluehost, for example, work as it relates to plugins, themes and maintenance.

   I am assuming I still have access to those things and how much extra maintenance is there are on my end if I self-host?

   I got a homework from my teacher, it is to make a vlog about making a blog (sooo stupid for me…. Especially when you are an introvert). i don’t want to waste money, so which one that is better for me? :/

   • WPBeginner Support

     Hi Daniel,

     If you just want to use it for homework, then you can go for WordPress.com. If you want to grow your website in the future, then you may want to go for WordPress.org.

     Hi Romina,

     If you recently signed up for WordPress.com, then you can contact them to see if you are eligible for a refund. As for domain name, you can use your custom domain on your self-hosted WordPress.org site.

    Thank you for your in-depth comparisson between these two platform.This is exactly what i have been looking for.

    Yanıtla

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hi Li Chee,

      WordPress.org is free as a software, you will still need to purchase domain and hosting. It offers more features and freedoms.

      WordPress.com offers a basic free account with limitations. You can upgrade to get more features but it will still not have the same freedom as installing a self hosted WordPress.org website.

    Hey, thanks for your support it is thoroughly comprehensive.

    However, I need your help on the way forward. I am torn between website and blog.

    I want to show case my portfolio and attract clients. Meanwhile, I work on various small projects so don’t have the time to throw myself fully into blogging.

    Next, I first want to put up my portfolio before I go live. Please help work this out.

    I have already installed the WordPress via WordPress.org. But, I can’t rename the file wamp64 in the program file. Keeps telling me the file/folder is open in another location.

    Can I work on my platform without going live? I feel comfortable testing it locally before going out bold.

    Please help me.

    “While you can get several advanced features with the WordPress.com Business plan ($299 / year for each website), you can make that money go much further on a self-hosted WordPress site which costs $46 per year.”

    Does this mean if you buy from Bluehost you can have access to the plugins or do you still have to buy the business plan from Wordpress in order to install those plugins, which costs around $245 a year up front? A bit confused about this. As a complete newbie it looks like I can buy web hosting BUT I still have to buy the business plan in order to use the plugins.

    Yanıtla

      Hi Jo,

      No. If you buy self hosted plan from Bluehost, then you will not have to pay for WordPress.com business plan to use plugins. You will be able to install all WordPress plugins available.

    Hi and thanks so much for your insights and extremely helpful resources.
    Just wondering how you know which of the themes available in a market is wordpress.org v .com. I searched specifically for wordpress.org theme but they were limited in comparison to general search. However I did notice themes I had seen previously in general market searches for best themes in that niche; but only one.. I want to start a food blog using wordpress.org. In choosing this does it limit my choice of theme. I may be looking in the wrong place and if so maybe you can point me in the right direction?
    Thanks once again for great work.

    Yanıtla

    • Madeleine

      WordPress.com doesn’t allow for custom themes, so all the themes that you see when searching on markets and other places are to be used with WordPress.org. So no, using WordPress.org doesn’t limit your options, it expands them.

    I’m a writer, and want to start a blog about a personal subject in order to reach out to others with the same challenges. I have never written a blog before.

    There’s nothing more annoying than website ads, so I would prefer not to have them.

    On the other hand, I want to own my Blog & my Domain Name.

    You’ve often recommended Blue Host. Do you own this hosting site as well? What is the difference between your hosting & theirs.

    Hello! I want to migrate to wordpress.org but temporarily, I would like to try out the personal plan of wordpress.com as I cannot afford hosting yet. If I migrate to wordpress.org, will I still have to pay for the plan I was using prior to the transfer in wordpress.com? Thanks!

    Yanıtla

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hi Calum,

      If you signed up for a self-hosted WordPress.org site and wanted to move it to WordPress.com, then you’ll have to pay for the domain name. Most hosting companies do not offer trial plans. So make sure you understand their policies before signing up.

      Similarly, if you signed up for WordPress.com’s free plan and bought a domain name, then you will have to pay for the domain name. The personal plan is free so you can migrate to a self hosted WordPress.org site when you are ready to do so.

      Hope this helps

    Hi,

    Thanks for this article super helpful!

    I have a personal plan with a G Suite account attached to it on wordpress.com. If I want to transfer it to a self hosted wordpress.org site, will my G Suite account be ‘transferred’ as well or will I have to cancel the subscription I ordered on wordpress.com and set up a new G suite account for my wordpress.org site? I hope that makes sense.

    Thanks!

    Yanıtla

      Hi Evelyn,

      You Gsuite account uses your domain name which is currently managed by WordPress.com. You can manage your domain name on WordPress.com and point it to your WordPress.org hosting provider. You can also move your domain to your new WordPress.org host. You will have to add G Suite A records to your domain settings. Contact Google, WordPress.com, and your new self hosted WordPress.org hosting provider to ensure smooth transition and detailed instructions.

I have purchased Go Daddy’s WordPress Website product which includes hosting (I think!) and if this is same as a Wordpress.org site (as mentioned above) why am I always being prompted to upgrade to Personal, Premium or Business plans? Why not the Wordpress.org plan? And if I am on WP.com and if I make the shift to WP.org how will it affect my URL? Will it be .org? I cannot remember visiting any blog with this sort of URL. Any response to my queries will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

        • WPBeginner Support

          Hi Mohua,

          Most likely you are using a self-hosted WordPress.org site. The easiest way to check this is by installing a plugin, if you can install a plugin then you are using self-hosted WordPress.org site. For detailed explanation please contact GoDaddy support and they will be able to help you understand.

    Thanks so much for your wonderful advice here! I am wanting to set up a webhost on Blue Host and then use WordPress.org for blogging. I will be moving my Blogger blog over. I have always worked from another computer (other than my home or phone) on my lunch hour and before and after office hours through my gmail account. If I set everything up that way – from another location than my home computer – will it all actually still be hosted only from my home computer? (I hate to sound so dumb – but I really don’t know or understand how these things work, I just use them.) I don’t want to do anything wrong or illegal, but have time limitations for setting things up at home and want them to work primarily from my homebase but be accessible everywhere that I go. Can I set it all up remotely or do I have to set up from home originally?

    Yanıtla

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hey Gail,

      It will work just like your Blogger blog. Your WordPress site will live on your Bluehost hosting account it will be your website’s home on the internet. You will use your own domain name to access your website like (wpbeginner.com or google.com). You will be able to access your site on the internet from anywhere, using any device or computer.

    Wow…

    Thanks so much for this great explanation… I didn’t even realize there were 2 different wordpresses… lol… Man..

    Sounds like workpress.org is definitely the way to go for a serious commercial or sem-commercial web site…

    So of course the big thing today is building a “responsive web site”…

    I’ve read things about wordpress that say, yeah you can… but… if have to do this and you have to do that type answers…

    I’m not sure what an answer like that means…

    So if I want to build a site that works on desktop and mobil, is it easy to do with wordpress..?

    Do you build say, a desktop site and just push a button and it converts it into mobil..?

    Any thoughts about this are greatly appreciated..!

    Thanks very much..

    Yanıtla

      Hi Johnny,

      Yes your WordPress site will work on both mobile and desktop. You will need to use responsive design template and most modern WordPress templates are responsive by default.

      Yanıtla

      Yönetici

      • Dave

        Just to make this crystal clear for Johnny.
        Wordpress sites don’t work on mobile by default (rather they can look horrible with loads of scrolling).
        To have a site work (look good) on mobile is all about which THEME YOU USE and purchase. Although you’d think most themes should now work well on mobiles, there are still many out there that do not.

        So when choosing a theme, ensure it is ‘Responsive’ because not all of them are. And ideally check it out live or at least view screenshots of the theme on mobile devices to double check it looks good on mobile, before you buy.

        Some themes are better than others for mobile, and although they may say responsive, some cater better for all screen sizes than others do.

        So just take a few minutes to check out the theme first before buying it

        All the best

    My church created a website on “wordpress.org” The administrator is handing over the administration duties to me because I have some web training. He created a New User and checked the “Administrator” role for me. He emailed me the password. I am able to log in to the /wordpress/wp-admin/profile.php Profile page and the /wordpress/wp-admin/index.php Dashboard page. When I am in the Dashboard page, I do not have any tools or controls present in the left-hand navigation pane. In the main body of the page, I have (2) text sentences with a vertical red bar to the left of them. The first message says “You’re using W3 Total Cache plugin. If Captcha by BestWebSoft doesn’t work properly, please clear the cache in W3 Total Cache plugin and turn on ‘Show CAPTCHA after the end of the page loading’ option on the plugin settings page.” When I click on the hyperlinked settings page, a new page is displayed with the message “Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.” The second text sentence with the vertical red bar to the left says” No valid license key has been entered, so automatic updates for Envira Gallery have been turned off. Please click here to enter your license key and begin receiving automatic updates.” When I click on the blue hyperlink a new page is displayed that says, “Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.” I have read several hours worth of help and FAQ’s and haven’t seen this scenario. Any help or suggestions about this matter will be greatly appreciated. My administrator and I are stumped for now.

    This is an informative post. So, thank you for all the detail. I have been looking at Wordpress dot com and they appear to have changed their hosting packages. Before you could not monetize but now you can if you have the premium package or above. Do all the above cons you listed still stand or just some of them? I did look at the forum and plug-ins are still not allowed. Wordpress dot org does not host anything but rather directs the user to potential hosting companies. It almost looks like Wordpress dot com is competing some with those hosts, but maybe not if the only con they appear to have removed is no monetization.

However I’m still confused about one thing: what if I buy a domain and host my site through a different company (so I don’t go through wordpress itself), and then download Wordpress from Wordpress.ORG, can I then download a theme from Wordpress.COM and use plugins? Or does it not matter when you’re hosted somewhere else, as long as you use a Wordpress.COM theme, plugins are unavailable?
    Thank you for your answer!

      Hi Gabrielle,

      WordPress.com does not allow you to install plugins.

      WordPress.org allows you to install any plugin or theme you want.

      Er, my blog address was removed by the moderator. How are the commentators going to help me if you don’t know my blog address? I understand that you do not want to direct traffic to my site, which is understandably fine, but I also hope that you guys would help me out with my problem. Just in case, you need the blog address it www dot india hypen travels dot com. Here’s sincerely hoping that you don’t delete this. Once my query is answered, probably I myself can delete this post. Thanks
