They seem similar but are actually very different. There are some clear cases for when you should choose either WordPress.com or WordPress.org.
First of all, I would like you to know the major difference between WordPress.com & WordPress.org.Though they seem to be similar but are different in many ways.
The following are the main variations between WordPress.com and WordPress.org:
WordPress.com – You may simply start a blog and upload blog entries using the hosted blog publishing platform WordPress.com. It is limited in scope but simple to use because everything is handled for you.
WordPress.org – It is a self-hosted content management system (CMS) that is free and open source but requires a domain, web hosting, and setup. Although it takes a bit more effort, it offers much more freedom. WordPress.org is typically meant when the term “WordPress” is used.
Now the question arises, why WordPress.com is preferred over WordPress.org in terms of security?
WordPress.com – Since this is a hosted option, the security of your website is entirely up to the provider. Backups are included with subscription levels, and if you use Business or eCommerce, plugins are an option. Otherwise, you have no control over it.
WordPress.org – Since WordPress is open source, anyone may examine its code and help make it safer. On a high-quality web server, the default installation is actually quite safe.
With some carefully selected WordPress security plugins and by adhering to some security best practices, you can massively increase that.
