Two Woo Express choices based on what you need

We'll dig into the details here, but the main important thing to remember is that Woo Express is a subscription option for that allows the user to work on your store immediately, includes a collection of necessary extensions and is operated by WordPress.com.

The very best of SaaS and open source

Woo launched this offering because it offers the best combination of what is typically an A - or B-type choice Software as a Service (SaaS) or open source standalone software. SaaS options are your subscription sites, such as Shopify or Wix. Options that are open-source, such as WordPress which is free for you to utilize and are the option to purchase.

Woo Express is fundamentally open source software, however it can be controlled as if it were a SaaS solution, which means it is possible to manage your site as a subscription, directly by .

The benefits of open-source software

Also, businesses can make portable backups, and then use the backup to take their website to a different hosting company in the event that they decide that they do not want WordPress.com hosting any longer. It's still the same, and lessens the impact that migration could result in.

The software that's open source is also believed to be safer, as its source code has been made available out in the open so that others can examine, access, improve and modify it. Because there are many eyes watching the software, bugs can be discovered and corrected more quickly than other forms of software. We are also required to meet a higher level of coding, because weaknesses can be discovered more quickly with code that is readily accessible by anyone in the public domain.

What's the difference between Woo Express

Woo Express is a version of WordPress that includes essential and beneficial features installed and pre-configured, and it runs in the cloud platform of WordPress.com which means that you do not require a third party hosting plan as you typically will with WordPress.org. Woo Express is hosted on WordPress.com as well as is bundled with registration for domain names and domain name registration, as well.

What is the reason Woo Express a subscription when it's free?

Woo Express is still the identical technology, only hosting is also included. If you wanted to integrate Woo Express to an existing website, you would need to buy hosting from an outside provider such as Bluehost. When you use Woo Express, the hosting is provided by us and serves as the basis for the cost of the subscription.

However, Woo Express is still the sole property of yours You can also utilize your backup of your website to switch to another hosting service at any time, which is hard to achieve with SaaS options such as Shopify as well as Wix.

Benefits of WordPress hosting

We're very happy with our hosting companies because they are able to make up 43% of the internet! For those with less technical skills, switching between a hosting provider's website and your WordPress admin can be confusing and overwhelming. With Woo Express, the back-andforth has been eliminated. All of your WordPress admin functions are managed by your WordPress administrator account.

Woo Express with WordPress hosting is also a great security tool due to the inclusion of Jetpack scan. Jetpack is a partner company to Woo as well as WordPress, and runs on WordPress.com as well.
