Web Hosting For WordPress
WordPress vs other private, unique systems.
The key difference is marketing power. When you use WordPress, you have more options, integrations, and results. With premium themes and plugins your website will perform better and be more helpful.
And, WordPress is the most popular CMS on the planet. Being open-source means that there is a community behind the system that can help support, train, and market your web presence better.
To take advantage of this powerful website software you need a proven WordPress hosting company.
It is important to note that we are talking about WordPress.org vs. WordPress.com. The main difference between the two is who is actually hosting your site.
With WordPress.org you are hosting your own site (through Shepherds Loft) vs. their servers. A few benefits of “self-hosting”: no ads, no restriction on analytics, and plugins that are allowed.
In order to use the dot-com version effectively you would have to pay for premium upgrades (to remove ads, use your own domain name…) that aren’t cost-efficient.
