The Difference: Wordpress.org VS by thepremiumblogo: 5:39pm On Aug 14, 2016
After moving from Blogger to , it was pretty boring for some few months not until I discovered there was more, WordPress.org. Many people (especially newbies) do not know the differences between the two of them. That would stop today.

See this–> WordPress VS Blogger

WordPress.org is an open source Content Management system that was built by the community and for the community. WordPress was first planned to be a blogging system but it later evolved to a Content Management system (i.e.) It can be used for many things ranging from Blogs to websites and even e-commerce sites. on the other hand also uses the Content Management system (WordPress.org) but they provide a hosting package along with the software. This means that they do all the maintenance and upgrades and basically all the dirty work for you. It’s is like the ready made of WordPress.org.

WordPress.org
Pros

You have full control over your website. (I.e. No body can bring down your site for no legal reason except you do illegal things and your hosting react)
You have the capability of installing any plugin of your choice unlike
Install any theme and customize it just the way you love.
You are free to implement ad codes and make money from your site.
Cons

Requires hosting which would cost a fee.
You are the security surveillance of your site i.e. You have the responsibility to always watch your site and it’s check for vulnerabilities.
You are responsible to always watch over your site for errors and update issues.
Your site could go down anytime due to downtimes. (This would not necessarily happen if you are with a good company)

Pros

You don’t have to worry about anything except your content, they do all the dirty work for you.
You don’t have to worry about your site going down due to downtimes.
Cons

You do not have full access to your site. (You can not upload plugins, themes and cannot implement ad codes for monetization)
You have to pay a fee to remove the ads running on your site (If you are on their free plan)
They never remove their powered by WordPress at the footer even if you pay for CSS Upgrade.
OUR VERDICT

is perfect for newbies and people do not have much time and want to concentrate on your content as much as possible, other than that, WordPress.org beats hands down. You should also be sure that you have thousands of people ready to support you in case you are stuck. This is because they own a large community, support, and knowledgeable base.

That’s should be all for now!
