WordPress

WordPress is a free and open source content management system (CMS) written in PHP and paired with a MySQL or MariaDB database. Features include a plugin architecture and a template system, referred to inside WordPress as Themes.

It's important to distinguish between WordPress.org and WordPress.com. WordPress.org is the self-hosted version, where you download the WordPress software and install it on your own web server. It offers maximum flexibility and customization potential. WordPress.com is a hosted service that offers a limited free plan with paid upgrades. It's more restrictive in terms of plugins and themes but also handles hosting for the user.
