What is WordPress and its use?

Last updated on July 8th, 2020 at 10:26 am

In this article, I (Harish) will share with you exactly ‘What is WordPress?’.

Introduction:

Since at the very beginning era of Websites the Companies used to hire Developers and they used to write Coded Script in order to form make Webpages and add Blog posts and if any single piece of Symbol is missing the Whole Script gets messed up. And re-arranging was a frustrating task. Not only due to this Issue but also a lot of other reasons WordPress came into matter.

WordPress designed by Matthew Charles “Matt” Mullenweg (born January 11, 1984) who is an American online social media entrepreneur and web developer living in San Francisco. He is best known for developing the free and open-source web software WordPress, now managed by The WordPress Foundation. 

Usage:

It is a ‘Content Management System’ (CMS) which allows you to manage, add content and whether you want Simple or Complex website you can set up your Site with EASE. 

This CMS is used by approximately 33% of the whole world. That means out of all other CMS such as Magento, Prestashop, Drupal wordpress consumes 33% of the Web.

The software allows you to edit your Website very easily without any requirement of a Developer/Coder for your Site. 

It also lets you add anything to your Site quickly with easy Customisation and Make your Site Flexible. 

This CMSis a Software Created by a Wordpress Web Developers with Enthusiasm for Building a Blog or Business Website. 

Itis an Open Source Community that allows other Creative Web Developers to Contribute to their Software to make it more Awesome. 

Say for example Our Parents, Teachers, Professors guide Childrens or Youngsters to build their Career/Profession very Smart and Innovative to build their skills and improve our Life, In the same manner, This CMS allows you to build your Site without any Worries and can be Customized very Quickly and Easily.

But this CMS has 2 Versions: 
1. WordPress.com 
2. WordPress.org 

Differentiation between WordPress.com & WordPress.org:

WordPress.com

This is NOT A FREE SOFTWARE, they let you create your Business Site/Blog within wordpress.com and If you want to add a lot of things they may also tell you to Upgrade your Site by buying one of their Package.
Suppose you decided to Build your Brand new Real Estate online site under WordPress.com then at the starting you will feel great working on it.
But as you went on increasing your Site exposure to people, ‘.com’ will say “Hey, if you want to remove our Watermark then you have to Upgrade to so & so plan” or “Hey, Upgrade your plan for just so and so amount”

In short, we came to the conclusion that ‘.com’ is a Paid version of CMS and Always it’ll be.
You can check their pricing plans here

WordPress.org

As we understood ‘.com’ now we will look into ‘org

.org is a FREE CMS software.
The last .org top-level domain itself says that it’s an Organization.
So, ‘org’ is a FREE Software which you can easily Download from here, but wait
As it is free software the sole soft cannot create your site. In order to run that FREE soft you have to Buy Domain and WordPress hosting. Once you’ve purchased your domain and Hosting you are ready to go and Start Building and can Customize your website as you want. Creating your website with Domain and hosting becomes more Efficient, as it allows us to check out more features.

I know, you’re probably thinking then what’s difference between .com and .org.
See not everything is free in this World, if you want to really want to access all features utmost, then you should go for ‘.org’
