WordPress.com blog or a self hosted blog?

Wordpress.com or Wordpress.org? 

Wordpress is very popular platform for blogging. And Wordpress is available in two ways for publishing blogs.
The very first one is Wordpress.com and the other one is Wordpress.org. Both have same way of publishing posts but differ in various things which I am going to discuss in this article.

 Wordpress.com

1. Wordpess.com is the domain in which the blogs are hosted in wordpress itself and you don't need to find any kind of hosting services and providers. You just have to pay for hosting to wordpress only.
2. Wordpress.com is hosted by wordpress itself therfore you are not allowed to use advertisment in your blog.
3. So if you are serious about blogging with earning purpose, then you must not think about wordpress.com
4. wordpress.com is easy to use. you just need to go to Wordpresss.com and the you can choose your own domain name or wordpress hosted name ( i.e MyTrickWays.wordpress.com)
5. After you have paid to wordpress.com you can start posting in your wordpress control panel or dashboard.
6. You are restricted from using many plugins or themes if you are using WordPress.com blog even if thousands of options are there to choose from

But keep in mind if you are not looking for any profit from your blog, this is the best option you can have for your blogging experience. The advantage of using wordpress.com is only because of its simplicity and your blogging hobby. And if you are choosing a wordpress hosted name ( i.e example.wordpress.com ) then you need not have to pay a single penny. But if you want to run your own domain name of your blog , you should purchase a domain name and it will be renewed every year if you wish to continue.

So if you are intresting in serious kind of blogging and for earning purpose you should not think about wordpress.com ( wordpress hosted blogs ). 

Now you should think about wordpress.com or blogger.com.

Wordpress.org

The way of creating and designing a blog in wordpress.org is similar to wordpress.com as both are the parts of wordpress only.

But the advantage of wordpress.org over wordpress.com is customizations upto any level. You have complete rights to customize any page of your blog as you are using the space of your hosting provider. You have to find a webhosting service that supports wordpress plugin. And you can customize anything you wish to change your blog. 

1. You can use any themes and plugins which is available for wordpress which option was restricted in wordpress.com upto some level of customizations.
2. In wordpress.org you can use any advertisement as you can customize anything in your blog.
3. It is very popular platform for blogging as you can customize anything and design you blog as you want.

So what I recommend  is that it all depends upon the purpose of your blogging! 

If you are creating just for hobby purpose then you should try wordpress.com and if you are serious about blogging then you should go for wordpress.org or can use blogger.com also.
