WordPress.com vs WordPress.org - Why the difference matters
Many beginners confuse WordPress.com and WordPress.org, but they are two completely different products. Understanding the difference is essential for making the right decision for your site.
WordPress.org is free open-source software you download and install on your own hosting (such as BeoHosting WordPress hosting). You have full control over every aspect of the site - from plugins and themes to code and database access.
WordPress.com is a hosted platform (like Wix or Squarespace) where WordPress.com runs your site on its own servers. The free plan comes with serious limitations, and full access requires expensive monthly plans.
Note: This comparison is based on publicly available information from the official websites, updated in March 2026.
Srovnání table: WordPress.com vs WordPress.org
10 key criteria that show the differences between the two WordPress flavours.
* WordPress.com prices are for annual billing. WordPress.org only requires the cost of hosting.
Ownership and control: your site, your rules
The most important difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org is ownership. With WordPress.org on your own hosting, you own your site, content and data. You can move it to another host, change the code, and install any plugin or theme.
With WordPress.com your site lives on their platform. They can change the terms of service, restrict features or even take your site down if you break their rules. You have no access to server files, you cannot edit the PHP code and you are limited to their ecosystem.
For a serious business site, blog or online store, owning your site is critical. WordPress.org on BeoHosting WordPress hosting gives you complete freedom and control over your online presence.

Price comparison: WordPress.org is cheaper for a serious site

To install plugins and your own themes, you need the Business plan at 25 EUR a month (300 EUR a year). That is far more expensive than WordPress.org on BeoHosting.
