There are free and paid themes for any blog in any section. This is something that every user may contribute to. The nicest aspect of this software is the simplicity with which plugins and other features may be implemented.

Being a web development company, I dislike the covering of additional server space since there is a lot of unnecessary stuff that consumes storage and data while we browse the website.

What differentiates WordPress.com from other similar products?

WordPress.com offers professional website hosting coupled with some powerful advantages: while some hosting providers would just go on with providing a domain and server package, WordPress.com would provide not only a collection of premium WordPress themes for your stores, but also direct features and integrations for accepting payments from 60+ countries. It like a WordPress, but powered by customer support, marketing tools, and monetization integrations, at a monthly cost.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I really love that a free domain name is included for one year with any of the WordPress package. Furthermore, it removes the burden from the user of having to perform complex server setup, installing WordPress, creating databases, configuring PHP or even performing DNS mapping at 3rd parties. Automatic website backup and the ability to restore with 1 click also makes WordPress.com an outstanding offer.

What do you dislike most about this product?

What I dislike is that WordPress.com storage is limited at 13GB for Premium plans and 200GB for eCommerce plans. Also their is no indication of the resources allocation in terms of CPU and RAM. Yu do not have that 100% customization control with WordPress.com as compared to hosting on your own servers, for WordPress.com tries to upsell you features which would otherwise be free, if you were self-hosting.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are starting an eCommerce store and do not want to bear the burden of website development and server setup, but instead have a fast deployable solutions, WordPress.com is the best fit. It will make you save a lot of money in terms of IT staffs. It is a complete solutions and will have your business running online almost instantly.
