I've been told that I should get a WordPress website. Looking into it, there is an open-source content management system available from wordpress.org and hosting available for it from wordpress.com. However, there are also a lot of other hosting providers that will install WordPress.- Is wordpress.com the "official" wordpress host that everybody uses, or are there good reasons to go with a third party hosting solution for a WordPress website?
