WordPress.com Business vs WordPress.org
-
Hello! I use WordPress.org for an existing business but was looking at purchasing the Business plan for my writing blog on WordPress.com. What are the differences between the two? Obviously, with .com Business, I’ll be paying WordPress for hosting. Anything else?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Howdy –
The WordPress.com Business plan features are outlined here https://wordpress.com/pricing/ There are numerous features included with this plan, aside from the hosting.
You do not need a plan though to write your blog with WordPress.com. It can be done completely free.
This guide explains the differences in WordPress.com and self hosted WordPress: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
Let me know if you have other questions.

Thank you for your quick response! That second link was what I needed.
It looks as if no plugins are permitted with WordPress.com. That helps answer my question.

Hi amlynn,
I’m just a wp user, not staff, just want to point out that the wp.com platform itself provides a lot of the functionality that self-hosted blogs need plugins for, plus a lot of other features that I didn’t want to worry about finding on my own, like very effective protection against being hacked. For me that was a big plus… -
