| Has tons of posts. | Has little or no post except contact us, about us, privacy policy, terms of use page. |
| Advertise other company’s product/service. | Don’t place advertisement. |
| Can be created by anybody for no purpose. | Purposely created for selling their products or services. |

However, a bigger websites like www.themegrill.com can also have their blog page where they would use to post articles that relate their product or services, for example, www.themegrill.com/blog.

Can I install WordPress.com software via cPanel? I have mistakenly created my website on it already before reading this article. Please help me.
Hi Kuli Jugh, I am sad to tell you that WordPress.com cannot be installed on cpanel, you have to do everything from their website. Though, they have an app that you can download on your device.
Now, I can know the difference between a blog and a website. Blog is for influencer while a website is for the company.
Thank you for making me to understand, Abdulrazaq. God bless you 🙏
