  • Hosting wordpress.org through wordpress.com

    I believe I already know this answer.

    But, I have a client (friend) who hosted there current website through wordpress.com and started to build there website through wordpress.com. I told them wordpress.org is the best way for the yoga studio. Ad a little more dynamic-nes while keeping what they are familiar with. Should I just have them direct to my host and start there or is there a way to keep everything the same and operate under .org.

    Thanks

    Jay,

    If you don’t need the flexibility of a full web host, you may consider getting a free blog on WordPress.com.

    There is a good comparison about .org vs .com here; (https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/)

    I would suggest that you decide what your needs are for a website / blog, and decide how much you can do on your own, or how much you can afford to pay someone else to do it, and get your own hosting account some place with the proper application abilities you will need to do whatever you intend to do.

    Before you decide on a host you need to make sure you’re going to get a hosting account that gives you the access, or your web designer the access and application abilities that wordpress will need to really work well.
