WordPress.com
Some big great new things at WordPress.com lately! You already know that WordPress.com is the fastest way to spin up a WordPress site on the web. That used to mean *somewhat* that you are giving up come control over what you are able to do. All that has changed now that WordPress.com offers SFTP and database access to your site, meaning you have all the control in the world.
Also, WordPress.com does eCommerce, and not only one-off sales, but *recurring* payments. That means you can run a membership site or monthly/yearly donations site or anything like that.
