wordpress.com VS wordpress.org (part 2 )

If you does not read part 1 please read before. click here.

Today I will start part 2.

Even those who know that “ wordpress.com” and “ wordpress.org” are completely different, but they do not know the different between them.

And, many users have suggested to me via email that,

Which is better, wordpress.com or wordpress.org?

Because, when you are thinking of creating a blog with wordpress, I hope you will have some general knowledge about wordpress.

I would advise everyone to create a blog using wordpress.org all the time.

How much does it cost to create a website or blog using wordpress.org?

In this case, you can create a website at a much lower cost.

However, it is not possible to create a website for free here.

Because, to install wordpress, you will need “ web-hosting”

And, it is not possible to use the website without a domain name.

So basically you have to spend on “ domain name” and “web hosting”.

So, before I tell you, here are some of the best web hosting companies.

You can buy good quality web hosting for only 2500 to 3000 rupees per year.

With this, you can buy a top level domain (LTD) for only 1000 to 1500 rupees per year.

By the way, this is the cost of creating a professional and self-hosted wordpress website.

However, if your website traffic and visitors increase in the future, then you can think of buying better quality hosting.

Hopefully, you understand the benefits of using the self-hosted version of wordpress or the software (.org) the disadvantages, and the cost of creating a blog.

Now, let us know the complete information about wordpress.com below.

What is wordpress.com ?

Wordpress.com is a “website hosting service”

Where you can create a website without nay hassle.

This service was created by wordpress co-founder “ matt mullenwag”

For example, buying hosting, installing wordpress, etc. will all be ready in advance.

Everything will be set for you.

However, there are 5 different plans through which you can launch and host a website.

1.   Free

2.   Personal

3.   Premium

4.   Business

5.   E-commerce

Remember, there are a lot of limitation when using a free plan.

And, many features and functions we will not be allowed to use.

Moreover, if other paid plans can be taken, when we are also given limited features and functions.

Let’s know all about wordpress.com below.

Wordpress.com advantages

In a nutshell, if you are thinking of blogging for your hobby,

Only then, I would suggest creating a site using wordpress.com.

When it comes to blogging professionally, I would never recommend using wordpress.com.

Why? You will know as soon as it falls down.

Thus,

There are different some benefits to using this platform.

You can use up to 3 GB space for free. After 3 GB, you have to take any paid plan where there is more web space for the website.

In case of free plan you can use  free SSL certificate.

Free domain will be give for one year. (in case of paid plan)

You will be offered a variety of free themes & premium themes.

You don’t have to worry about website backups and updates. ( however, automatic backup is only available for some plans)

So you see,

There are no benefits to creating a free blog.

With a lot of limitations, you can create a simple blog using just one sub-domain.

In the case of wordpress.com’s free plan , you cannot use a “ top level domain”.

Moreover, in  case of every small features, you have to take a better and more expensive plan.

Only business and E-commerce plans give you all kinds of features and functions.

Wordpress.com disadvantages.

As for me, there are many disadvantages and  disadvantages to using wordpress.com.

In the free plan. Wordpress.com will show ads on your blog or website. And, you will not be paid even 1 taka from those advertisements.

In case of free and personal plan, you will not be able to earn money by showing advertisement on your website.

You can’t make money using Google adsense or other third party company ads. Only, you can use  “business” and “ e-commerce” plans.

Simply, you can show ads on your blog by joining their personal program called wprdads. However, this is only is the case of website using premium and business plan.

Install the plugin and upload the theme separately only in “ business” and “ e-commerce plans”

In case of free plan you can only use the sub-domain of wordpress.com. for example,

Rashedulislam360.wordpress.com but rashedul360.com can’t be used.

If they think that your website has been violated in any way, they can delete your website completely at any time.

Websites created using any plan other than the business plan will have “ powered by wordpress.com” written below.

You can’t create all kinds of websites here.

So you see,

If you are building a website with the free, personal and premium plan of wordpress.com, then there are some limitations.

In addition to the limitations I mentioned above, there are many other limitations of wordpress.com.

However, it is not possible to say everything at once.

On the contrary,

Spending only 150 to 10 rupees per month, we can create a website or blog using “ wordpress.org” or wordpress CMS without any restrictions.

How much does it cost to build a website with wordpress.com ?

Compared to wordpress software, the cost of creating a website using wordpress.com is huge.

As I told you before,

Wordpress.com has some different plans, for which you can create a blog or website with money.

Free – free but are fatal limitations.

Persona – Rs.160/ month ( payment annually)

Premium – Rs.280/ month ( payment annually)

Business – Rs.680/ month ( payment annually)

e-commerce – Rs.1152 / month ( payment annually)

you can create a website from wordpress.com with any one of the above plans.

However, you have to pay the money together every year.

Moreover, I have given the price of each of the above plans as in India.

You can see the pricing of wordpress.com pricing in your country.

So you understand the whole thing?

If you are thinking of creating a blog and earning  money from blogs in the future, then use wordpress.org or self-hosted wordpress.

Otherwise, you may face many problems in the future.

Moreover, the benefits of using wordpress.com are only 2 or three are a lot of disadvantages and limitations compared to the benefits.

In the end, the biggest limitation of wordpress.com is that “ you do not have full rights and control over your website here”.

So, in the case of professional blogging, “wordpress.org is the best website builder”.

So now you may well understand that it is profitable and important for professional bloggers to use any of the platforms of wordpress.

Wordpress.com or wordpress.org.

As for me, “wordpress.org”.

Which one is yours?

Please let me know by commenting

Our last word.

Wordpress.com or wordpress.org ? which is better and why, you may have found the answer to this question in today’s article.

There are a lot of differences between these two wordpress platforms.

Imagine you are in a rented house.

In this case, you are only renting and therefore you never have full right and control over the straw you have.

Your landlord can evict you any time.

In the same way, the same can be said about “ wordpress.com”

In contrast,

When a house is bought in its entirety =, you have full rights over that house.

You can do whatever you want in your house, you can decorate you house you like.

You are case, we can understand this situation by comparing it with “ wordpress.org”.

So, it is more profitable to buy your own house than to rent one.
