Is the training different for them? [WordPress.com](https://wordpress.com/) is merely one web hosting company you can use (which is run by one of the original creators of WordPress). Because of their name recognition, they are typically more expensive than other web hosts (such as GoDaddy, etc.) where you can also host a WordPress website. [WordPress.org](https://wordpress.org/) is the place where the open source WordPress software is hosted and documented. Webhosts that offer easy WordPress installations get the software from WordPress.org This class is general WordPress training and it does not matter who your website is hosted with. WordPress.com does have an alternate (non-standard) interface it uses by default, but there’s a way to use the standard WordPress interface that we teach (and ever other WordPress hosts uses). ## Pricing **Tuition:** $695
