Sure, here’s the translation:<\/p>\n

Did you know that some people confuse WordPress.COM with their own website through WordPress.ORG? This is not surprising since there is only a 2-letter difference between the two.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, it is important to understand the ultimate difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org before starting or continuing with your website!<\/p>\n

WordPress.COM<\/h2>\n

WordPress.COM allows you to set up a website that they host for you<\/strong>, for which you pay a certain amount per month, which increases as you add more features.<\/p>\n

Note that you will face various limitations! And that you cannot<\/span> simply install a WooCommerce plugin like you can with your own WordPress installation.<\/p>\n

Below are the current prices for a website. Keep in mind that you can permanently pay \u20ac45 for a webshop and that a site from \u20ac4 can display advertisements for WordPress.com!!<\/p>\n

\"wordpress.com<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WordPress.ORG<\/h2>\n

WordPress.org is the place where you can download WordPress<\/a> to start your own website<\/strong> with all the possibilities and freedoms to do as you please. You pay a fixed amount to your web host, but NOTHING for the use of WordPress itself.<\/p>\n

Note that more possibilities also bring more problems and challenges because there is much more that you need to set up correctly with your own WordPress website. Fortunately, there is a lot of information available on the internet and of course on the official WordPress support forum<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Tip: Various web hosts<\/strong> offer a service where they prepare WordPress for you<\/strong>, or provide an automated installation through your hosting panel so that you don’t have to do anything with the WordPress files and database yourself.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

There are two different versions, but the most commonly used one is WordPress.ORG<\/strong>, where you have the website under your own management through your own web host. This is also the version that most web developers use<\/strong> to develop websites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
