I understand. Coming back to the comment in question:
The point is not that you can host wordpress on your system but that OP seems to be searching for a fully managed cms (or static site creation tool) but open source and for free(?).
Google is (as we know) not doing anything for free. They want the data, the market dominance and the traffic so they can make money from it.
From a usability standpoint they‘re both content management systems in which a person with limited technical knowledge can design their own sites and publish them without having to resort to third party designers.
That is why I said they’re the same. I was referring to the „wordpress is a script“ (it is not).
TL;DR: If OP wants managed, they either pay in data or in money, period. Managed wordpress (or joomla or others) is the equivalent to this service.
Sure, feel free to enlighten me about the differences. They’re both content management systems, no?
