There are so many questions that we field about the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org. For starters, WordPress.com is free. With WordPress.org you have to pay a hosting company to put your site up on one of their servers in order to go live on the internet. Not a big deal, especially since hosting costs can run as low as $5 a month. Installation, if starting from scratch, is very easy either way. If you go the .org route, which you will after reading this post, just ask your hosting company to step you through the installation process for the first time. We recommend a hosting company like Bluehost.com for their great prices and extraordinary customer service.
