What it is and how it works

The software from WordPress.org should be distinguished from the commercial WordPress.com service and other hosting offerings. Using open-source code does not remove the need to maintain components, permissions and backups according to the project's configuration. Popularity does not in itself demonstrate suitability or determine the risk of a specific installation.
