In our example, the color of the Mustang refers to Themes. Now that we have taken care of parking, the next thing will be the looks and functionalities of your Mustang.

You can also use a fast managed WordPress hosting like Nestify for best-in-class performance. It can cost you anywhere from $30 to $3000 depending on the web host and the website you are planning to host. And if you are planning on creating a website using WordPress, then you must choose a web host. Likewise, you will not escape the cost of keeping your WordPress.

Where you decide to park your Mustang is your choice but you will not escape the cost of keeping it. So you will obviously be charged for hosting. Where would you keep it? See the problem? In our case, as you have a free WordPress, you also need a place to host it. Now the problem comes when you need to park your Mustang. So far, no costs with our (I meant ‘your’) Ford Mustang. You have got the car for free (just as you get WordPress for free download). Now consider that Ford Mustang to be the WordPress software for our example. Let’s say a very rich friend of yours gifted you a Ford Mustang. If it is indeed free then where does the question of “Cost” come from? Let’s bust this myth once and for all. You can make changes to it, add your code or tweak it anyway you like it. WordPress is a blog tool, publishing platform, and a CMS that is completely free to download. There are hundreds of themes and plugins available that can be used along with the software. You can download the latest version from the official WordPress repository. There are lots of themes and plugins developed for WordPress. A lot of people have contributed to its development and even today thousands of volunteers around the globe continue to do so every day. The WordPress software has been open-source software since the beginning.

The term “open source” refers to something people can modify and share because its design is publically accessible.” What do you mean by open-source software? There is no doubt whatsoever that WordPress is open-source software.
