What is WordPress used for?

WordPress® is a blog- and web-publishing platform that’s not only easy to use, but recognized the world over as a standard in website creation. With its focus on aesthetics, web standards and usability, WordPress is an open-source platform that lets you manage everything from a small personal blog to a large commercial site with hundreds of pages. 80% of webmasters trust their online presence to WordPress — and with WordPress Hosting from PowerHoster, you can, too.
