Finding a Home for Your Blog

When discussing Web hosting considerations, it is important to understand
where your hosting account ends and WordPress begins. Support for the
WordPress software may or may not be included in your hosting package.

Some Web hosts consider WordPress to be a third-party application. This
means that the host typically won’t provide technical support on the use
of WordPress (or any other software application) because software sup-
port generally isn’t included in your hosting package. The Web host sup-
ports your hosting account but, typically, doesn’t support the software you
choose to install.
