If you’re interested in hosting your site with WordPress.com, which allows you to easily forget about managing security & updates, and you want to have your own domain name, you’ll need to upgrade to a paid plan.
WordPress.com comes in 5 different plans, 1 of which is Free, 4 of which are Paid.
| Plan | Free | Personal | Premium | Business | eCommerce |
| Cost (month) | $0 | $5 | $10 | $33 | $59 |
| Custom Domain? | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
If you’re after more flexibility to install any plugin or theme you’d like, and you’d like to use the self-hosted WordPress.org version, you can simply sign up to a web hosting plan, and install WordPress.
