There is a plan for you

Yes. Plugin installation is available on every paid WordPress.com plan — Personal, Premium, Business, and Commerce. You get access to over 50,000 plugins starting with the Personal plan at $2.75/month (billed every 3 years). You do not need to be on the Business or Commerce plan to install plugins.

The Personal plan, starting at $2.75/month (billed every 3 years), includes full plugin access. You can install any of the 50,000+ plugins on this plan. You do not need a higher-tier plan to use plugins on WordPress.com.

Every paid WordPress.com plan starts at $2.75/month (billed every 3 years) and includes plugin installation, a free domain for the first year, ad-free browsing for visitors, unlimited pages and users, malware protection, and free support— all fully managed with no separate hosting bill.

WordPress.com plans start at $2.75/month when billed every 3 years, or $4/month billed annually. All paid plans include a free domain for the first year, plugin installation, ad-free browsing for your visitors, and global CDN hosting. There is also a free plan with no expiration date if you want to get started without a credit card.

Yes. Every WordPress.com plan, including the free plan, comes with hosting included. You do not need to purchase hosting separately. All plans include a global CDN, SSL, DDoS protection, brute-force attack protection, and managed WordPress updates.

Yes. All annual and multi-year paid plans include a free custom domain for the first year. That covers popular extensions like .com, .net, and .org, among many others. Monthly plans do not include a free domain. If you already own a domain, you can connect it to your WordPress.com site or transfer it to us for easier management. The free plan uses a WordPress.com subdomain (yoursite.wordpress.com) and does not include a custom domain.

The free plan gives you a WordPress.com subdomain, 1 GB of storage, unlimited pages and posts, and access to basic stats for the last 7 days. It does not include a custom domain, plugin installation, or ad-free browsing for visitors. Paid plans start at $2.75/month and unlock all of those features.

WordPress.com is a fully hosted platform — hosting, security, backups, and updates are all managed for you. WordPress.org is open-source software you download and install on your own hosting server, which you pay for and manage separately. On WordPress.com, plugin installation is available on all paid plans starting at $2.75/month. On a self-hosted WordPress.org site, plugins are always available but you are responsible for your own hosting, security, and maintenance.

Yes. WordPress.com has a built-in import tool that supports migrations from platforms including Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy, Medium, Blogger, and self-hosted WordPress.org sites. For more hands-on help, WordPress.com’s Website Design Services team can also assist with your move.

Both plans include developer tools like SFTP/SSH, WP-CLI, Git commands, and GitHub Deployments, plus priority 24/7 support, 50 GB storage, and all premium themes. The Commerce plan adds a fully integrated WooCommerce experience with built-in ecommerce extensions: unlimited products, abandoned cart emails, dynamic upsells, bulk discounts, inventory management, and support for selling in 60+ countries with 0% transaction fees. The Business plan also has 0% transaction fees for WooCommerce payments but does not include those premium store extensions out of the box.

Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time. Any unused portion of your current subscription is applied as credit toward your new plan.

Every WordPress.com plan includes malware detection and removal, a web application firewall, DDoS protection, brute-force attack protection, and automated WordPress core updates — at no extra cost. Real-time backups and one-click restores are available on Business, Commerce, and Enterprise plans.
