Another reason WordPress.com beats WordPress.org

Why I use WordPress.com not WordPress.org is about making life simpler. Using a self-hosted gives you more flexibility, but there is an administrative overhead.

One advantage of WordPress.com not mentioned in the earlier story is the free s 3GB of storage. In practice it means you can write an unlimited number of posts with an unlimited number of images.

If you run WordPress.org on a commercial web host, you'll rub up against storage limitations. In some cases the amounts are small and you get there quickly.

When I used a hosting service and WordPress.Org I had to upgrade my account twice paying for extra storage to cope with the number of posts – there are nearly 1000 – and images. And when space began to run out, the site would slow down.
