Deploying your e-commerce websites easily

What differentiates WordPress.com from other similar products?
WordPress.com offers professional website hosting coupled with some powerful advantages: while some hosting providers would just go on with providing a domain and server package, WordPress.com would provide not only a collection of premium WordPress themes for your stores, but also direct features and integrations for accepting payments from 60+ countries. It like a WordPress, but powered by customer support, marketing tools, and monetization integrations, at a monthly cost.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I really love that a free domain name is included for one year with any of the WordPress package. Furthermore, it removes the burden from the user of having to perform complex server setup, installing WordPress, creating databases, configuring PHP or even performing DNS mapping at 3rd parties. Automatic website backup and the ability to restore with 1 click also makes WordPress.com an outstanding offer.
What do you dislike most about this product?
What I dislike is that WordPress.com storage is limited at 13GB for Premium plans and 200GB for eCommerce plans. Also their is no indication of the resources allocation in terms of CPU and RAM. Yu do not have that 100% customization control with WordPress.com as compared to hosting on your own servers, for WordPress.com tries to upsell you features which would otherwise be free, if you were self-hosting.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If you are starting an eCommerce store and do not want to bear the burden of website development and server setup, but instead have a fast deployable solutions, WordPress.com is the best fit. It will make you save a lot of money in terms of IT staffs. It is a complete solutions and will have your business running online almost instantly.

The fastest way to have an online presence

What differentiates WordPress.com from other similar products?
I am a web programmer and in my years of career I have been able to help many companies in the creation and development of their websites and without a doubt, WordPress is the best tool to achieve quickly and economically, a high quality website that is quickly positioned in search engines.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I really like WordPress because you don't need to be an expert programmer to create your own website, which gives me the advantage when I deliver the web pages to my clients and teach them how to manage their own website. Another great advantage of WordPress is that you can position the pages with an additional blog, since you have the option to create your articles optimized with SEO and thus achieve better reach and visualization in search engines. It has helped me a lot in the creation of online stores, as I can easily add all the inventory that is in stock.
What do you dislike most about this product?
If you want to make your website and you do not have any knowledge in the area, you can certainly do it, but the results will not look professional. Some options are limited such as templates, although some of them can be modified, as I mentioned, you must have a great knowledge of the program to be able to do it.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
My recommendation is that, if you want to have an online presence, with a software that is not expensive and easy to use, WordPress is undoubtedly the best for creating websites. If you have no knowledge in web design and creation and you have little budget, WordPress is a great option to start with your website, as long as you document well, so that the results are as expected.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Performance Enhancing
- Trustworthy

A free and open-source content management system
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates WordPress.com from other similar products?
SEO- SEO is a better option than PHP or any other website administration because it has all the necessary tools to complete the job. Designing- When it comes to designing, it’s incredible that you’ve already used the basics of page builders like woo-commerce or in house builder. Fast Speed- The index page loads quickly and the cached pages may be managed easily. Migration- Migrating from one WordPress site to another is as simple as taking a backup and using the tools you already have.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
If WordPress wants to make modifications to a website, I feel they should first contact the website’s owner. WordPress, in my opinion, should include live chat on all plans, not just the corporate one. Starting a small company using free plugins for individual blogs. WordPress offers domain names at a premium compared to other domain registrars. WordPress should have an option for automatic backup; now, this is only available through third-party plugins or by hand.
What do you dislike most about this product?
I believe WordPress should offer instant chat for all plans not just for the business plan. Creating free plugins for starter business of individual blogs. Getting domain names from WordPress is comparatively high than other domain sellers.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Being on social media and the blogging world, WordPress has been a lifesaver for me. WordPress is a free blogging platform, but it does offer premium services such as premium themes, more storage, and the opportunity to pay to remove adverts from your articles and content... Even while they don’t really get in the way of your content, having no advertising running on your site is a nice perk if you’re serious about blogging and have a particular preference for the look of your blog, as I do. Because the Web site is free to use and to establish your own blog and to post and manage your own content.
