As a developer: google sites is 100% the exact same as wordpress, just looks better.

I’m not gonna slander you for not knowing the difference between a host and a content management system.

The issue seems to be that google offers a pretty foolproof experience for people with limited technical knowledge. That is not the case with the majority of open source systems.

Additionally: from what I hear, you wont get free top level domains with sites and not with other providers so please accept that you wont get this for free.

Have a good one.
