WordPress.com is a WordPress-powered weblog hosting provider. It runs WordPress MU, a less-customisable version of the software that allows people to create and manage their own weblogs without requiring the time, money and technical knowledge involved in setting up WordPress on an ordinary hosting account.
The site was initially launched as an invitation-only service, although at one stage, accounts were also available to users of the Flock web browser[1]. However, accounts can now be registered by anyone, and there are over 637,000 accounts with the service[2]. Registration is not required to read or comment on weblogs hosted on the site, except if the blog owner wanted to do so; but registration is required to own or post in a weblog. All the basic and original features (current as of May 2006) of the site are free-to-use, and will remain so in future. However, some new features (such as a CSS editor, domain mapping, and storage upgrades) are available only to users who pay for them[3].
