A user asked whether the WordPress program is free now, but if the WordPress.com website is charged, will it be charged later?
There is a mistake in this problem. In my opinion, WordPress.com is different from WordPress.org.
To put it simply, WordPress.com is a foreign hosting website builder, which should also be maintained by the WordPress program development team. Similar to Sina Blog, if you want to use your own domain name to build a website on WordPress.com, you will be charged, and subject to various constraints, and now you can't access it normally in China.
WordPress.org is the website for publishing WordPress programs. WordPress programs are open source and free. Downloading WordPress programs and installing them on your own domain name host also cost money, but they have full autonomy.
The conclusion is that the WordPress program itself is a permanent free open source program, which has nothing to do with the toll collection on WordPress.com. More than 40% of the world's websites are built with WordPress and can be used safely.
The only disadvantages of using WordPress in China are:
Perhaps because WordPress.com has many personal blog websites, in order to guide the correct public opinion, the domain name server has been blocked in China, which also affects WordPress.org. The access is slow, and related services are often unavailable. This is why some people say that WordPress is relatively slow.
There are also large articles translated on the Internet about the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org. The content is only suitable for foreigners and has nothing to do with Chinese people.
Most of the articles on this site are original and used for personal learning records, which may be helpful to you, for reference only!
