The very best of SaaS as well as open source

Woo created this service due to the fact that it provides the ideal combination of an A - or B-type choice: software as a service (SaaS) or standalone open source. SaaS choices are subscription websites, like Shopify as well as Wix. Open-source options, like WordPress which is free to use and you own.

Woo Express is fundamentally open source software, however it can be managed like it were it were a SaaS solution, which means you are able to run your website through a subscription. through .

The benefits of open-source software

Also, businesses can make portable backups, and use that backup to take their website to a new hosting provider should they decide that they're not interested in WordPress.com hosting anymore. It's still unchanged, which reduces the impact that migration could cause.

Software that is open-source can also be safer, as the source code is released out in the open to allow others to access, review, enhance and adapt it. Since there are so many eyes looking at the software, bugs are discovered and fixed much more quickly than other forms of software. Additionally, we're subject to higher standards of coding, because weaknesses can be discovered more quickly in code that is openly accessible to everyone in the world.

What's different with Woo Express

Woo Express is a version of that comes with the best and most useful functions pre-configured and installed, and runs in the cloud platform of WordPress.com which means that you do not need to buy a third-party hosting package like you would with or WordPress.org.

If you wanted to integrate Woo Express to an existing website, you would need purchase hosting through an external provider, such as Bluehost.
