I started using wordpress as a blogging site then 'upgraded' to a personal account only to discover that it's stil extremely limited in fucntionality. If you want to have better search results positions on Google then go with another company. Wordpress intentionally disables basic features on their websites that mean Google won't rank your site favourably unless you give Wordpress more money. Wordpress.com's answer to this would be to 'upgrade' further to a business package, which for me would mean another £333 for two years, and that's with a 'discount'.In conclusion, Wordpress is fine if you just want a blog. If you want anything better that requires you to do business or, for example, to be able to block visitors by country to your website, then go with another provider because Wordpress.com is just not flexible enough and very high priced for a limited service.
