WordPress is free when self-hosted because the WordPress.org software is open-source and costs nothing to download or use. However, running a self-hosted WordPress site is not completely free. You still need a domain name and web hosting to put the site online. You may also pay for premium themes, paid plugins, email hosting, backups, security tools, or developer help.
