One of the major differences between wordpress.com and wordpress.org is who is hosting the website. i.e., in WordPress.org, a user can host their own blog or website. There is free WordPress software in WordPress.org that can be downloaded and installed on your own web server. But in WordPress.com, it takes care of all of the hosting parts, meaning the user needs not to have to download software, manage a web server, or pay for hosting.
* A developer will get a full domain on WordPress.org but only a sub-domain using WordPress.com.
* WordPress.com has many limitations compared to WordPress.org.
* Its user does not own content on WordPress.com, but the content will be own when using WordPress.org.
* People consider them more seriously when they use WordPress.org than WordPress.com.
