Difference between WordPress.com and
WordPress.org
With WordPress.org, you host your own site (we recommend this). You’ll purchase your own web hosting service and then you’ll install the
WordPress software on that hosting. WordPress.com, on the other hand, it’s WordPress.com that takes care of all of this for you (easier to start,
less freedom). You just register for an account and you can start building. And that’s a major difference.

Practical
CHOOSE YOUR DOMAIN NAME
Your domain name is your site’s permanent address on the web — every website
needs one so people can access it. Ours is winningwp.com. In addition to being
your site’s address, your domain name also plays an important role in branding, so
you’ll want to put some thought into getting it right. So, what’s a good domain
name? It depends… If you’re building a personal portfolio, you may want to use your
own name — such as keanureeves.com. Or, if your business already has a name,
you’ll probably want to use that — such as walmart.com.

PURCHASE WEB HOSTING
To power the WordPress software and make your website accessible when
someone visits your domain name, you need web hosting.

With web hosting, you’re basically renting space on a computer to power your
website.

You’ll find hosting at all price points.

When you’re just getting started with WordPress, it’s totally fine to choose cheap
WordPress hosting — you can always upgrade later as your site grows.
For cheap WordPress hosting that doesn’t skimp on quality or service, we
recommend SiteGround (read our SiteGround review).
