They're effectively the same thing, but Salesforce.com is generally used to refer to the CRM functionality (the sales, service and marketing applications) and Force.com is generally used to refer to the underlying platform (the database, code, and UI on which all the apps are built).
Force.com is a platform where you can develop your own application.
Salesforce.com is Sales(CRM) and Service applications which were developed and running on the Force.com Platform.
The developed applications will run on the force.com always as a multitenent architecture method.
Simply you can identify Forc.com is where you can access and customize your datamodel, bussiness logic and UserInterface. But in case of salesforce.com you can access the sales(CRM) Application with all the developed data model, Business logic and UserInterface. Then you can customize your application funtionality, since it is running on the force.com platform.
aroyal The difference b/w salesforce & force.com is the salesforce is software as a service and the force.com is the application development platform.the force.com is the platform as a service.
Salesforce.com is the actual CRM Software on Cloud with all standard applications for organizations and end users. Force.com is same as Setup page for Admins and developers, which allows you to customize the salesforce.com applications, administer your salesforce.com, build new applications using number of tools (create/manage users, create/manage obj, fields, processes, rules, apps...)
Site.com 1. Sites.com is meant for business users as there is no coding mandatory. Business users can easily create their own websites and it uses a Sites.com Guest User License. 2 .

Publisher is a superset of Contributor. 6 . Chatter supported for a contribution of content while chatter is not available on the front end website. 7 .Drag n drop support for CMS.
Force.com Sites 1 . Force.com sites support both authenticated and public websites 2 . Support for custom pages using VF, JS, CSS etc 3 . Main target audience is developers 4 . Access to all Force.com objects
according to techtarget (https://searchcustomerexperience.techtarget.com/definition/Forcecom) Force.com(PaaS) is owned by Software as a Service (SaaS) vendor Salesforce.com, who calls the product a social and mobile app development platform. Salesforce.com also owns Heroku, another cloud development platform.

salesforce.com is standard appl
force.com we can develop new apps where as we can customize the predefined functionalities of salesforce.com
OR
both r same but if at all the required standard objects related to our appl not exists in salesforce.com we develop our own objects using force.com
Force.com is a platform where you can develop your own application.
Salesforce.com is Sales(CRM) and Service applications which were developed and running on the Force.com Platform.
The developed applications will run on the force.com always as a multitenent architecture method.
Simply you can identify Forc.com is where you can access and customize your datamodel, bussiness logic and UserInterface.
