WordPress If you search from Google, you will enter wordpress.com by default. When we say WordPress, we usually mean wordpress.org. Com is an official hosting service launched by WP. org is a website that we download the installation package ourselves. The two are different. Here are the detailed differences 。 -
The installation methods of WordPress in this article are divided into installing WordPress on a virtual host and installing WordPress on a VPS. The two methods are different, and different virtual hosts have different installation methods.

Brand computers can be used after plugging in the power supply. If this example cannot be understood, please look at another example: Differences between VPS and virtual host
