WordPress.org• You download the software
• You have to have a web hosting account and domain
• You install it yourself
• You are responsible for updating it
• You can install any theme or plugin you want
• Your webhost will keep the server running, but not keep your site running if it threatens the security or stability of other sites
• Most hosts offer a “one click” install of WordPress that downloads and installs WordPress for you
• Generally, you have to keep WordPress updated yourself
• Support is by volunteers
