WordPress is first word in every people’s mind when they think of to create a blog.

WORDPRESS.COM

WordPress.com hosts WordPress blogs for free. You never need to buy your own hosting if you are using WordPress.com for your blog.

It also means that your blog is ready for traffic associated with popular posts.

Keep a few things in mind when you host your blog on WordPress.com:

• WordPress URL. The URL of your blog will be something like www.mygreatblog.wordpress.com. If you’re going to host a blog for professional reasons, you may not want to advertise the fact that you’re using a free service.

• Extra cost for advanced features. WordPress.com offers some advanced features such as domain mapping, which allows you to point any domain to a blog hosted on WordPress.com (getting around the amateurish URL), but you have to pay for these features.

• No access to code. Given the nature of WordPress.com, you have no access to your blog’s code. You can’t modify the way your theme

looks without paying a little extra, and you can’t upload your own custom theme.

WORDPRESS.ORG

Your other option is downloading the WordPress code from WordPress.org and installing it yourself.

You have to buy your own hosting if you want to use WordPress.org but you will be free from code restrictions of wordpress.com.

Because you’re hosting the blog yourself, you decide what plug-ins you’ll use, and you have complete control of all the files.

You can use your domain name only like www.techbusy.org instead of  www.techbusy.wordpress.com.

You’re responsible for everything. You have to maintain backups of your blog.
