  • It needs to be hosted *somewhere*. That can men a commercial hosting company, or a free host (not recommended in most circumstances), a SASS company, a publicy-accessible server somewhere, or your own PC if you know how to set ip up and maintain the proper security on it.

    The vast majority of the times it’s worth the few $ to get the site set up with a commercial host because things normalyl work pretty smoothly. Most other options mean that you have do do a lot more work, and know a lot more about server administration.

    So WordPress.com is free and www.ads-software.com costs a monthly hosting fee. Correct?

    Just to be clear, www.ads-software.com doesn’t charge anything ever. There’s nothing on this site to buy, and noting to pay for.

    The software from WordPres.org is free, and after that it’s up to you as to what costs are associated with running it. Most times that does mean you’ll pay for a web hosting service, but you don’t have to if you want to use some existing service or infrastructure that you already have in place. The freedom is yours to do what you wish with the software.
