WordPress.org lets you own your website outright instead of renting from a platform that can change rules, raise prices, or shut you down. Hosted services hold all the power. Self-hosting gives you control.

is if you own everything, you're in control of it. You're not at somebody's mercy when they decide to change the rules. And, you know, you may or may not have ever fallen into that, but I've dealt with it when people call me and they're dealing with it type of a thing. So it does happen. The other thing that has happened with some of these platforms is that they have closed. Like the business just closed. Well, what happens to all those websites built on those platforms? Hopefully you got that figured out before they closed, uh, or they're merging with other businesses, and then again they're changing the rules when that merger happens. And it could be anything from more than doubling the price to we don't really want this type of business on our platforms anymore. So that's the biggest reason why I use WordPress, and I use WordPress.org.
