  wordpress.org = the foundation making the software wordpress.com = the company (well, its parent, Automattic) paying the WP foundation, offering paid managed WP hosting WP Engine = a third party company, just plainly offering plain managed WP hosting

  I pay $2800 a year to this company for Internet and TV - and I still have to watch commercials.

  (For comparison: tested with ziggo.nl, largest tv and largest internet package with landline phone comes out to ~€95/month)
