WordPress.com. It’s free and easy to set up and you have<br />

lots of options for customizing your site.<br />

A few of the cons of using WordPress.com include that<br />

your domain will, by default, include “WordPress.com.”<br />

You also can’t upload any custom themes, plugins or<br />

modify the PHP code behind your site.<br />

While WordPress.com is free to set up, they do offer<br />

several premium upgrades, including domain name<br />

registration (if you don’t want WordPress.com in your<br />

domain name), the ability to upload videos and the option<br />

to use their premium themes.<br />

Using the downloaded version of WordPress from<br />

WordPress.org opens up more control and flexibility<br />

for your WordPress site, but it also means more<br />

responsibility. Using a self-hosted version of WordPress<br />

means you can use your own domain name, upload and<br />

install themes and plugins, edit the code behind your site<br />

and have access to your site’s database (or files). Most of<br />

the showcase sites you see on the WordPress site<br />

showcase are the self-hosted version of WordPress, since<br />

many of them have unique functionality or a custommade<br />

design.<br />
