Hi Graham!

You’re absolutely right, we can take it a step further from that perspective, especially when talking about shared hosting vs. dedicated virtual private servers.

I guess I was trying to gear the post towards beginners, as that tends to be my audience – people who are new to blogging and WordPress, and need a little guidance. Thanks for the input!

Hi Ursula,

that’s a great way of explaining the difference between the two ways of using WordPress.

Might I even go as far as to suggest extending it by differing between owning a flat and owning a house (very German thing to suggest probably).

Owning a flat is like using a hosting package. You can do what you want on your own webspace, but you are still limited in some ways by the provider (eg. PHP settings, CGI scripts).

Owning a house is like using a server package. You really do have responsibility for the entire system.

No problem, Laura! I also wondered about this for a while, so I figured since I now understand it much better, I’d share my knowledge to help others understand as well! I thank Matt Mullenweg (founder of WordPress) for coming up with the perfect analogy to use to explain and understand this common question!

Thank you so much for this Ursula! I've wondered about this for a while and even after reading the info on the support forums at Wordpress, I still wasn't clear on it. You finally made it make sense to me, though! .-= Laura Lee Bloor´s last blog ..What Is Your Why? =-.
