What do you dislike most about this product?
In WordPress.com hacking chances are high because of its open-source platform and you are provided with limited templates. There are limitations in designing your website look. As it is running on the server so needs more resources than a single web page so often it is very slow.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It provides an interface to the website owner to manage their content database easily that is named as a dashboard in the application. You do not need any HTML editing or any file transfer protocols required for it because all it has it's built-in functionality. You can manage it from any kind of computer no specialty needed because it is a browser-based application you just need an internet connection to log into it easily so it can be accessed from any type of device. You only need two components to work on your own server: one is PHP because word press is written in PHP language and you need MYSQL for database purposes.
