Who they are

Open source WordPress has been incredibly successful and risen from a handful of users to the most-used blog tool in its category. The open source content management provider is mostly free, but there are paid upgrade options for CSS editing and custom domains.

What they do

WP wanted to bring the WordPress experience to a larger audience. So they created WordPress.com, which is a hosted version of the open source package that helps users without any technical knowledge manage and store content.
