Some of my readers asked me that What to choose wordpress .COM or .ORG? I read on the official website of the differences. But there are not clear to me one thing: there are limits to creativity on wordpress.com or not? That is somehow limited to management of the site in .com or not? And how do you use?
I told the man and decided, why not write an article about it, maybe someone else is interested in this issue. For those who have not the first day of running with WordPress everything is clear and nothing to read here, but what about those people who are just beginning to work with WordPress system. Therefore, this article is primarily for them. While there may be someone from the "seasoned" will also be wondering if they have not delved into this question I'll try to explain in their own words what the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org. And so, let's look at the difference and perhaps begin to WordPress.com.
WordPress.com
This resource allows you to create your site using its capabilities. In fact, when it is written - "WordPress.com - a platform to create beautiful websites for business users, professionals and bloggers". What does this mean?
This resource was created for those who do not want or does not know how to create a website from scratch. That is to say, buy a domain with hosting, install WordPress, customize everything to program yourself or hire others, in general, completely put on their shoulders the responsibility for the performance of its site. Many people need a fast way, minimum intervention, they just need a resource that will provide them with all the machine, stops only make the minimum setting and proceed to the filling of the resource.
How it works? You register yourself an account on the service. Choose one of the many available types of decoration - the subject and start to filling. At WordPress.com has its advantages for some users, as well as drawbacks. Let's look at the advantages first.
It's pretty simple and easy
There is a possibility of creation of free and paid site on this resource.
As stated above, there is a choice of free themes and they are not few.
Your site is protected against data loss, being backups.
Automatic update.
The site will never "fall", that is, regardless of the load generated by visits to it, it will always be available.
You will get more traffic from other sites created on WordPress.com.
Availability of Technical Support.
When using the pay rate - choice of any domain.
The presence of many useful features that are available by default. Like, share on social networks, forms of communication, commenting through social networks.
If you have a large selection of themes, you can not upload your own.
Not all the resource translated into Russian. Of course, not as it was previously, but the same news, still conducted only in English.
When using the free version will subdomain wordpress.com. That is the domain of the site will be - mysite.wordpress.com. Naturally, instead of mysite is the name you select your site.
You can not edit the code, then there is no interference with the subject.
There is no possibility to use plug-ins
Advertising on the resource, which can only be deactivated using the paid fare. it is standard practice in resources providing something for free.
WordPress.com though and uses WordPress as a basic tool, it is not quite a complete system in the form as it is. The administrative part is left to use only a minimal part. In fact WordPress.com completely changed the admin panel, allowing users to only fill the site.
You can sign up for fun and try out this resource possible is what you perfect. Personally, I have not used it and do not intend to. I work with a fully managed site and installed me on it full WordPress system.
Let us now turn to the second resource.
WordPress.org
This service gives us the opportunity to download WordPress system itself. In fact it is very WordPress. For the system to work, you have to install it to your hosting. That is, you must first buy a domain and hosting.
As mentioned above it is in fact is the usual concept of the site, which is created by the usual rules of site building. In this type of conducting the site also has advantages and disadvantages. Consider the advantages.
Nobody does not limit you to the possibilities. It all depends on you and your desire to create.
You can install any themes and plug-ins, scripts and codes. Freedom of programming.
You are the sole owner of the site and have all the rights to it.
Ad placement do you and only to you it brings money.
Now the drawbacks, though I would not call them as such. For me it is rather a plus. But for novice users, these sites can create some difficulties.
It takes more skill and knowledge in programming and layout.
all processes update of WordPress is necessary to control yourself, make backups, take care of the security of your site, to prevent possible threats.
Keeping this site paid, because you need to deal with the hosting and domain. In time all the pay, to monitor the load on the site server.
If the load is a large site may stop working, it needs to take care of its download speeds and an appropriate rate for the hosting, which could withstand the load created by.
You are solely responsible for your life.
Before you start creating your site, weigh the pros and cons and only then choose which method suits you. As stated above, I personally for creating a site from scratch. Although it is harder for the novice user, but in the future you will realize that made the right choice. The first option is more suitable for those who have just decided to start a blog, there is no money, there is no desire to have a site, you just want to write something and publish.
It is worth mentioning that there is a possibility to make the transition from one system to another. That is, if you are uncertain about whether you will be engaged in the site from scratch, you can start a new life with the WordPress.com site, and then in the future, when you want to develop the resource and make it unique, move to your own site. You can also move to WordPress.com already existing domain or all of the information from the site.
