Like many older adults, I was interested in
Digitizing my lifetime collection of photos,
Documents, and other memorabilia. So in 2014,
I contacted Wordpress and paid for storage space
Several years in advance, and established an
Autopay account for subsequent rental periods.
Recently, I attempted to access my content and
Receive a notification that Domain does not exist.
Despite numerous emails and phone calls to
Wordpress personnel, I received little, if any,
Concern, advice, or assistance in recovering
My voluminous data. THIS COMPANY
CANNOT BE ENTRUSTED WITH
YOUR VALUABLE DATA.

WordPress has become my go-to platform for creating and managing content-rich websites and blogs. The platform's intuitive interface, customizable themes, and extensive plugin library make it easy to build a professional-looking website that reflects my brand and vision. I appreciate WordPress's flexibility and scalability, offering a range of features to suit different needs and budgets. Moreover, the platform's SEO tools, mobile responsiveness, and e-commerce capabilities ensure that my website not only looks great but also drives results for my business. With WordPress, I have the power to create engaging content and connect with my audience in meaningful ways.

I am developing a small project, and for its purpose, I needed a website. My budget was quite limited, and since this is kinda of an experiment for me, I didn't want to invest a significant amount of money for a simple website. I have zero knowledge of programming, and I have never built a website before.
Anyway, I decided to check WordPress because this is the platform I know as the best for websites. Long story short, I have a domain and website now. I did it all by myself with only 50$ budget. Their website builder is amazing. I believe anyone can build a simple website with their templates.
However, if you want an online store, this feature is considered advanced and you will need to pay a relatively high price for it. That's the only downside.

I recently had an unpleasant experience with WordPress.com's customer support. While I understand that challenges can arise, the manner in which I was treated was far from professional.

I reached out for assistance with a CSS-related query, expecting a constructive response, but instead encountered a representative who identified himself as "Thorr." Whether this was his real name, I cannot confirm, as it was conspicuously missing from the follow-up email I received for rating the service.

When I approached him with a request for a CSS code to hide a banner, he initially told me it was not possible. However, when I presented further details, his response shifted from it being impossible to a blatant refusal to help. He told me he wouldn't do it and I was welcome to try myself. As a paying customer, I expected more cooperative and helpful service.

What struck me as even more disconcerting was when I requested to speak to a higher authority or manager, and was informed that no such tier exists above the initial level of customer service.

Additionally, while the location of a support representative shouldn't be an issue, I noticed the IP from which my site was viewed traced back to India. This made me wonder about WordPress.com's hiring practices. I hope that they aren't compromising on the quality and training of their customer service based on geography.

In conclusion, based on my experience, I can't recommend WordPress.com. The level of service I received was not up to par, and the experience left a sour taste in my mouth.

I have more than one website but Wordpress is a favorite of mine. The only issue I have is that you have to upgrade for a better design or easier way to build a site. However, minor pricing compared to most.

I have had to use the customer service and it was easy with chat. I have a domain and no issues whatsoever unlike others I have used such as go daddy. I would recommend them for a blog or minor business site that you are not using for commerce.

They have been around for a long time and have lead the way for blogging and other website building and could not have much to complain about it except your knowledge for website building would require more than most.

I have had a website with them for over 15 years and have no signs of changing it plus I have my business with wix.com. I know a little overkill but now in these days what is one more. LOL I use this one for blogging and my sudo personal site that I enjoy sharing less professional things plus it is my gram's link too.

Happy hunting and always look for those deals! Never just jump to the first plan but get a promo price!

Had a few issues at start regarding plugin installation but got resolved soon. Good site overall and nice customization options.

Been using WordPress for almost 2 years. Great experience so far! Love to write articles on various niches. The SEO plugins are really helpful for getting my work ranked better.

It is not showing the menu. I setup the menu, but it does not show on the page. I did figure out how to set the text color.

Wordpress is the #1 CMS in the world. Wordpress core is highly secure so when you read reviews saying Wordpress is not secure, that's 100% false. Wordpress needs plugins to work for the average user and a theme. With that said, your Wordpress site does become more vulnerable because it allows the use of third-party plugins and themes.

Wordpress.org has a large plugin repository. All plugins are reviewed for vulnerabilities. You should be getting your plugins from the Wordpress.org repository. The plugins listed on Wordpress.org are free with some having freeium features.

Yes, Wordpress is safe. Just make sure you are cautious when using a theme or plugin. Research the authors of the plugins and themes, read reviews and stay on top of UPDATES! Easy right?

I have been using WordPress.org for over several years. I feel like uh I can do what I want with my website. The one good thing about WordPress is that Its security system is very high. Too many options to customize your back-end front end to do whatever you want. Blaa Blaa.

I have used Word Press since 2017 to share my travel experiences. Then it was tiresome and difficult to add photos. It was laborious. 2018 it was the similar and I stopped after a few entries because it was so time consuming.
I thought I'd try again this year but found the whole experience to be frustrating, not user friendly in fact it was TERRIBLE to use. A TOTAL WASTE of EFFORT and TIME. Especially when you are travelling who wants to spend HOURS working on a simple blog of text anda few photos. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE A TOTAL RIP OFF.

WordPress is a great well-rounded place where you have free will whenever you want to build your blog from scratch or just choose a theme you need. There are free and custom paid themes. It took me some time to get the gist of the way everything works, but after going through bunch of tutorials I could happily work with it. It does take some time, but I would definitely recommend this as it's a great platform to work with, very useful with lots of handy plugins.
