What is WordPress and How Does it Work

If you are wondering what WordPress is and how it works, I bet you are thinking of starting a blog or website. This post will give you a simple explanation of what WordPress is and by the end of the post, you can also learn how to use WordPress to create a simple beginner website.

You may have guessed by now that WordPress is used to create websites or blogs. It is a web publishing software that covers about 35% of the entire Internet universe.

WordPress is also called a CMS. You can only add text, images, and videos to an editor that is very similar to Microsoft Word.

You may have heard that WordPress is open-source software. what is the meaning of this? This means that WordPress is free to use and has been developed by hundreds of volunteers around the world.

What's the difference between.COM, ORG 

Many people ask us what is the difference between WordPress.org and Wordpress.com and whether WordPress is really free.

This confusion comes from the fact that both of them are called WordPress so I will first explain what WordPress.com is and why you should not use it. So, is WordPress really free?

WordPress.com is a blog hosting service provider and although you can start a blog on WordPress.com, it will have many limitations.

1. You cannot install plugins on your WordPress.com site. Ease of use plugins to add features and customize your site is the best thing about WordPress software and you can't use the plugin on Wordpress.com. This is the reason why most people go to a self-hosted site.

2. Also, you can't use custom themes on WordPress.com.

3. The third thing you need to remember is that if you are starting a blog to make money, forget about Wordpress.com because your monetization will be limited to the ads that WordPress. com wants to run you on your site. It's not just about Google AdSense that you can't use on WordPress.com, the Terms of Service even prohibit you from writing sponsored posts, creating product reviews, and any other commercial activity on a free website. ۔

4. Your site will not have any beautiful domain that you want, it is your website. It will be like WordPress.com.

5. Last but not least, with all these limitations, WordPress.com is ruthlessly enforcing its TOS and even minor violations can cause your site to be suspended on their platform. ۔
