Akismet Stats
“What the heck is ham doing on my blog? I’m a vegetarian.
Spam most people know; it's the unwanted commercial comments on their blogs. Ham is what we call its counterpart, legitimate comments. On the Akismet mistakes side, missed spam is pretty self-explanatory, and a false positive is a legitimate comment incorrectly identified as spam (which, we hope, happens very rarely).”

WordPress.com VS WordPress.orgTo understand the difference, we must first

② Domain Name Servers/System: The DNS makes sure you get connected to the right computer.
③ Hosting: And that computer or server has your website files hosted on it
