Hosting & Domain Service provided by WordPress
WordPress.com provides free hosting service with all its plans and initially setup your website on Blog in their domain. so that you can proceed without worrying much and can change at later stage once you have decided domain name.
Though you can select one of your choice to start initially but it would be something like this âexample.wordpress.com/â where example can be like âpvblog470776809.wordpress.comâ.
I know some big numbers behind and not that much easy to remember. No worries, here âsubscription plans will come into pictureâ where you can look for options to buy domains of your choice and Features included within, check same pricing list as shared above for more details related to Feature.
Once you buy a plan then you can have your own domain like I have i.e. âdigitalpvblogs.comâ. In fact all plans have domain free for 1 year but after that you need to pay.
Some of you are still worried about cost of plans. No need to worry much as there are some good hosting service providers as well in the market which I have covered next.
Is it fine to buy Hosting from other hosting provider?
Due to WordPress increasing popularity day by day, there are many popular web hosts which offer specific WordPress Hosting packages. These are for those mainly who have limited budget or looking for smart investment for long duration. Some of the best hosting services I have mentioned in my previous blog too âPower of Website in Digital Marketingâ within subtopic âAre there any websites which provide hosting services?â Also, tried to cover some of the best hosting sites here as well:
Best WordPress Hosting Services
You might be wondering which one should I go for. I would suggest Go and check plans of these hosting services by visiting their sites and select the one which works best for you after doing comparison.
Also, there are many good blogs/videos as well which would be helpful for you to give clear visibility about the comparison and make it easy for you to decide.
Suggestion – but please make sure, you are checking latest article/videos as with time plan pricing varies and other factors too.
If in-case not able to find or do not get chance to do comparisons then do let me know in the comment section. For my lovely readers, I will research and post same in future for your ease.
How good or bad is WordPress customer support team?
WordPress support is very good and quick as per my experience. WordPress will give you option to email your query related to the topics, always will give option to choose relevant topics so that it will redirect to correct individual without any further delay. Great support team which help clarifying doubt at every point whenever you are looking for solution or doubts to be clarified.
Once you login to WordPress.com site then on bottom right corner, you will find question mark symbol where you can ask your queries to support team.

Are there two different WordPress platforms?
Yes, itâs true there are two separate platforms. One is WordPress.com which is owned and operated by Automattic, Inc. and another one is WordPress.org is software released under the GPLv2 license.
âDue to same co-founder Matt Mullenweg, often users confuse with WordPress.com and WordPress.orgâ. WordPress.com is created by the co-founder of WordPress.org thatâs the reason why most of us confuse.
Quick Standard Definitions for clear visibility:
WordPress.com is a free blog hosting platform for registered users so basically famous for Blogging and other works on the other hand WordPress.org is a free and open-source CMS (content management system) and used by 60 million websites.
I would suggest going and visiting both the sites once. Also, if still not clear then no worries please do let me know under comment section after visiting them so that I will try my best to answer all the queries.
