WordPress

WordPress is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) that enables the creation and administration of websites without the need for coding skills. Users can personalize their site's appearance and capabilities using themes and plugins, making it suitable for a wide range of applications from personal blogs to extensive e-commerce platforms.

Launched in 2003 by Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little, WordPress originated as a fork of a lesser-known blogging platform named b2/cafelog. The primary aim was to develop a more refined and user-friendly solution for online publishing.

Over time, WordPress has transformed significantly from its initial blogging focus into a comprehensive content management system. The addition of themes and plugins has enhanced its adaptability. Currently, WordPress powers over 43% of all websites, catering to everything from basic blogs to intricate corporate sites.

Combining ease of use with flexibility, WordPress stands as the most widely used CMS globally. Its foundational design and broad ecosystem offer numerous benefits for both novice users and seasoned developers.

Although both platforms are built on the same software, they cater to different requirements through unique hosting solutions.
