“The real WordPress”, is an open-source popular website platform that is 100% free for anyone to use. All you need is a domain name and web hosting. This is why it is also referred to as self-hosted WordPress.
WordPress.org is simple to use but is also limited in what it can do and hence it is majorly used for blogging and microsites creation by users.
WordPress.com
