I got an email last night asking about WordPress hosting. This can be a little confusing, so I’ve broken it down for you here. Question: I am looking at WordPress.com and I’m wondering if I should pay $17 a year for a “.com” domain or just use the “______wordpress.com” that is free.
Answer: The first step in figuring out what we “should” do is to identify the goal we are trying to accomplish. I don’t know the goal, but I will answer for the most likely scenario: She is building her first WordPress site and wants to know if “wordpress.com” at the end of her domain will affect the performance of her site.
If this is your goal, then don’t bother paying for the “.com” domain just yet. Get a feel for WordPress first and make sure that the hosted version will suit your needs. If it does, you can easily transfer over later. If it doesn’t, you’ll need to buy hosting, in which case you spent $17 on something you can’t use.
That is a short answer to a short question, but if it doesn’t make sense, I’ll break down “hosting” and “WordPress” in a bit more detail. It may be “clear as mud” at first, but it will click before too long!
A brief explanation of hosting WordPress is entirely free. The thing you can choose to pay for is “hosting.” In real life, “hosts” provide us with accommodations or lodging, and the price can range from free to very expensive. Your cousin’s futon might be just fine for one person for one night, but a large family may want to find a Motel 6, or maybe even a Holiday Inn. Online, “hosting” offers a place to store your stuff- your files, pages, content… everything that makes your site “yours.” Some hosting is free, but it usually has usage limits. Some hosting lets you do everything you want to do, but has a price (usually paid every year). Just like your decision between a futon and a resort depends on your needs, the hosting you choose should be determined by your site requirements and goals.
A brief explanation of WordPress offers two options, a “basic” version and a “deluxe” version. Both are free. The basic/starter version offers fewer bells and whistles, and typically looks like “yoursite.wordpress.com.” For $17/year, you can remove the “.wordpress.com” so the URL is simply “yoursite.com,” but you are still only using the basic version. To get a “basic” version, go to wordpress.com.
To use the “deluxe” version, you need to have your own hosting. This is typically less than $10/month and allows for things like shopping carts, forms, plugins… just about anything you want. You can choose from a huge range of existing themes, and everything can be changed to your liking. Lots of the add-ons are free, too! To get a “deluxe” version, you’ll need to get hosting. Your host will usually provide easy installations of WordPress for your site.
