You can build your website with many other services like these:

So why WordPress?

I can’t tell you, if you should use WordPress. But I can tell you, why I use WordPress.

Open Source

which means you can install it anywhere, as long as you have a SQL database and PHP (at least version 7) installed on your server

Community

You can find almost any solution to your problem online. Need a feature but don’t know how to implement it? Just google it and you will find somebody who already solved that problem (hopefully).
