I believe you can create as many regions as you like in a standalone but you are the only person that can go there I have created both and to have other ppl come to visit you need to be a grid

This is not correct. Standalones can handle users from anywhere in the world, as long as the routers are configured for that.

Basically, a standalone does not allow others to connect their region to your simulator, while a grid does. This has nothing to do with people visiting it.

This is also not correct.
Most grids are operated by one single organization/person and don't support the attachment of ad-hoc regions operated by others. OSGrid is an exception in this respect.

The difference between a standalone and a grid is simply the number of components (usually hardware) involved. A standalone has all services running in one single process in one single machine; a grid has many simulator processes, usually on different machines, and it typically centralizes resource management in yet other machine(s).

So if you just want a small world with a few thousand objects in world at any given time, stay with a standalone; if you plan to scale up, look into the grid configuration.
