Myth: "WordPress.com and WordPress.org are the same thing"
This one trips up almost everyone, and it's an honest mistake. The names are nearly identical but they're two different services.
WordPress.org gives you the free software to install on your own hosting. You own everything and can use any plugin or theme. This is usually what tutorials mean by "WordPress."
WordPress.com is a hosted service run by a company. Easier to start, but the free and cheap plans block plugins, show their ads, and limit what you control.
Think of .org as buying a house you fully own, and .com as renting a furnished apartment with rules.
For most affiliate and business sites, you want the .org version on your own hosting.
In plain words: .org you own, .com you rent.
