I’ve had a wordpress.com blog for quit a while now, and just now discovered that i can move to wordpress.org . I don’t understand the difference between the two, can someone explain??
Why should I move to wordpress.org or should I just use the blog that is on wordpress.com. I switched to tumblr a while back because I discovered that wordpress put ads on the blog, and I didn’t like that..

@sailorine The main difference is that a WordPress.com blog is hosted on WordPress.com itself. WordPress.org allows you to download the WordPress software for free and install it on your own domain. This means that you have full control over everything – functionality, themes, whether or not ads are on your blog, etc. Plus you don’t have to worry about breaking WordPress.com rules and having your blog taken down – you just have to abide by your domain hosting rules which are usually more lenient unless you’re promoting adult content, online pharmacies, casinos, etc.

hahaha, no I only promote music:):):)
would you recommend to do this instead of using rapidwevaer as my helper to make websites? are the same people behind .com and .org? do I have to pay anything to transfer to .org?
thank you for this helpful answer:)

Hi @Sailorine,
I use Wordpress for all my websites, both blogs & static sites, it’s easy to use & very customizable. No you don’t have to pay anyone to transfer to .org just make sure you have your domain hosted with a company that have one click WordPress set up, set it up, and follow the instructions within Wordpress.com on how to transfer to .org. Any problems search on YouTube & you will find plenty of free tutorials

You can personalize .org more and you have no restrictions besides common decency and good sense (but good sense & common decency are optional).
