They call WordPress a “content management system (CMS)” but to simply put, WordPress is a website builder. It’s been the most popular one by far, used by millions of bloggers, online marketers, and even by corporate users.
What sets WordPress apart from other site-building platforms is that the entire content is yours. With most other platforms, Wix, for example, you’d have to keep paying monthly fee to Wix. But with WordPress, you can have it hosted on any web space. If you’re not happy with a particular web hosting company, you can take away your web content (export), sign up with another company and import the content.
