from http://blog.asmartbear.com/nut-up-or-shut-up.html#comment-15845 http://blog.asmartbear.com/nut-up-or-shut-up.html#comment-15... WordPress.com…. 1. Doesn’t allow Javascript. (So no dynamic elements and no Google Analytics) 2. Doesn’t allow arbitrary plugins. (Because they severely restrict what they can do — many of the plugins I use on this blog are illegal there.) 3. Doesn’t do the speed optimizations we do (some of our WordPress.com refugee customers report 3x speed improvements) 4. Doesn’t put your media on a CDN for free (not yet announced but we’re starting to roll that out!) 5. Doesn’t have quality, email tech support (you have to troll around on forums) 6. Doesn’t recommend plugins (we know which ones are still supported and work well) 7. Doesn’t have the “staging” feature To name a few.
