Introduction:
The word “WORDPRESS” is being thrown everywhere these days. Which makes you wonder what exactly WordPress is. In its essence, it is just OPEN SOURCE (meaning it is free), Content Management System (CMS) that you use to make your very own website or blog and publish it on the internet.

Created in 2003, WordPress(check packages) gained a lot of popularity as a website publishing program on the website and blogs industry for its user-friendliness. It also powers 30% of the entire internet.

What is it used for?
As you might have guessed, it is software that you use to manage the contents of your webpage/website. To make it easier to understand, the contents of the website can be handled by either using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, or you can do the same by using only software which makes it easier for you to do the same “WORDPRESS.”

How does it work?
It is basically just an online service that gets your website completed and running in under 30 minutes. But how does it do that?

When the internet was new to society, people had to use code in either HTML or PHP form, which is just lines of code, which the computer would then interpret, spitting out a website. But doing, with WordPress, it takes a maximum of an hour to have a completely hosted website with a domain name and many other things. But there are two WordPress services, one with wordpress.com and wordpress.org.

Both are free but have different features. WordPress.com websites use their own hosting, don’t allow ads, cannot upload plugins, themes are limited, does not allow custom domain names, and finally, it can delete your website if they feel any sort of violation. On the other hand, wordpress.org, in addition to being free, allows your website to be completely customizable, have multiple plugins, have its custom domain name, have a variety of themes, allows ads, and, most importantly, has its own application to make the experience more user-friendly.
