The beginners are always confused between two WordPress. Before making a new website in WordPress, we must know the difference between them.
About WordPress.com
WordPress.com is software generally used for personal blogs, and no need to buy hosting separately. Its free version has WordPress as a sub-domain (e.g., mysite.wordpress.com), premium version needs custom domain that you need to purchase and set. Moreover, the website maintenance, security and backup are managed by WodPress.com. So, you can be focused fully on writing contents. Without any technical knowledge, anyone can create a new website in WordPress. Just you need to visit the WordPress.com, create an account, and simply writing a blogs.
On the other hand, WordPress.org is an open-source content management software, and you can get it free by downloading. First, you need to purchase hosting and then connect it with the domain that you purchased. Now, it's time to upload or install WordPress. You will take care of its maintenance, security, and backup. You need some technical skills. The hosting providers like Hostinger, Bluehost, Cloudways, and Hostgator are giving support as per the hosting plan you purchased.

Which one are you using for all purposes?
WordPress.org is the best in all aspects. Lots of customizations you can do using a theme and plugins. Even you can speed up your website by accumulating and integrating premium plugins. Therefore, I strongly recommend using WordPress.org is best for unlimited customizations and monetization.
What are Domain and Hosting? and How will they work for making a new website in WordPress?
What is a domain, and how is it helpful?
A domain name is the web address of your business. The clients will search your business over the internet or in the search engine by the domain name. So selection of a good domain name is a vital part. It will be your brand name. The domain name must be unique so everyone can know your business by the domain name.
It might be different from your company name. For instance, Naukri.com is a domain name of Info Edge (India) Limited, a company name. Here, you can see the company name Info Edge (India) Limited, but the domain name is Naukri.com. However, you can buy the matching domain name with the first name of your company name. For instance, Flipkart.com is a domain name of Flipkart Internet Private Limited
What is hosting, and how is it helpful to make a new WordPress Website?
Hosting is necessary for all websites because all the files, photos, databases, and contents remain in web hosting. Whatever things we are seeing on any website are gathered in web hosting. It's like a room or godown where all these are stored for running a website.
For making a WordPress website, you need to buy hosting from a hosting provider if you want to use the software of WordPress.org. Therefore, I strongly recommend using WordPress.org is best for unlimited customizations and monetization.
By default, your WordPress website is built up with a free theme after WordPress is installed on the webserver. Instead, choose a premium and light theme yourself from available themes. You can buy WordPress themes from Themeforest.net, WordPress dashboard, or directly from the companies' websites making themes. I recommend you to buy Divi, Astra, or Generate Press. I used all themes to have a better experience.
Purchase a Page Builder for your newly formed website.
A page builder is a separate software that will work with a theme that you installed on the webserver. Initially, you don't need to purchase it as it will take more time to learn and implement. Moreover, after making so many pages and writing so many posts, you will be organizing these in more structured and eye-catching ways to attract more clients.
Before buying page builder software, you need to check whether the theme is compatible. Be sure that it will be working fine and with no bugs. Divi builder, Elementor, and Beaver builder are the best and most used. You can use anyone.
Best Key Word Research Tools
Do you hear the term “Key Word Research Tools”? What's it? The tool works to research the words that the customers use to search for a piece of information on the internet.
Why is it important? As you want to start an online business by making a new WordPress Website, you need some words that you want to use in your website for the clients who want to search the same on the web.
So, you can research the tropics and words that have already been used by somebody. That's why you can find all these using Semrush, Ubersuggest, Long Tail Pro, and MOZ.
What are WordPress Plugins? How and Why all are important?
Plugins are an extra software besides WordPress making good website and developer's works easier, and it will fulfill specific needs.
It is a big challenge to attract more clients and maintain them on the website. To make WordPress more user-friendly needs some extra software to make the website attractive and user-friendly. Even when suitable plugins are added to WordPress, the website becomes more powerful.
