Open source WordPress is the most popular online publishing platform, currently powering more than 28% of the web. We wanted to bring the WordPress experience to an even larger audience, so in 2005 we created WordPress.com.

We’re a hosted version of the open-source software. Here, you can start a blog or build a website in seconds without any technical knowledge.

Overall, the WordPress.com network welcomes more than 409 million people viewing more than 15.5 billion pages each month. Our users publish about 41.7 million new posts and leave 60.5 million new comments each month.
