WordPress creator Matt Mullenweg is trying to force WP Engine to surrender part of its revenue to his company, Automattic, and the feud's repercussions are rippling throughout...
WordPress on its own is very bare bones, you’re almost certainly going to want to install plugins, which by default can only be done from the builtin connection to WP servers.
WP without plugins doesn’t even have basic things like gallery light boxes. Honestly it seems deliberate, since the easiest way to get a lot of basic features that should be in core is to install the automattic(the company that owns wordpress) jetpack extension, that also installs a bunch of data harvesting connections to their proprietary SaaS.
The LAMP/LEMP stack has been the standard for literally decades. Any typical shared web hosting by default uses the LAMP stack with CPanel management. And CPanel has the Softalicious software installer which has had a WordPress auto installer for a very long time.
Can you use the WordPress software without the WordPress servers?
Of course. You can host Wordpress just about anywhere that offers a recent enough version of php and access to a database
Not easily, honestly.

Very easily, actually.

You completely missed that I was talking about installing plugins.
No, I didn’t. I just ignored it because it’s not a very good point or relevant to the question.
