What Is Home and Site URL in WordPress?

WordPress is a popular content management system (CMS) that enables users to create a website or blog from scratch, or to improve an existing website. WordPress creates a site by taking content from a database and assembling it into a web page.

WordPress also provides a site’s administrator with the ability to create a custom domain name and host the site on a server.

When someone visits your website, WordPress retrieves the content from the database and displays it on the web page. WordPress also uses a site’s URL (web address) to identify the site on the internet. The site URL is composed of the domain name and the site’s hostname. For example, the URL for the website hosted by WordPress.

com is www.WordPress.com.
