WordPress.com FAQ
What is WordPress.com?
WordPress.com is where you create, host, and manage a website built on WordPress, the open source software powering X% of the web. We handle hosting, updates, and security, so you can focus on your business, not your server.
Is WordPress.com a good fit for a one-person business?
Yes. Solopreneurs and small businesses use WordPress.com to look credible, attract customers, and run day-to-day operations online, without a development team.
Do I need technical skills to build a site?
No. Start from a theme, build with the block editor, or let the AI website builder draft your first version. If you want to go further later, you can add custom CSS or code.
Is WordPress.com free?
You can start with a free plan that has no expiration date. It includes a WordPress.com subdomain and shows WordPress.com ads. Paid plans start at US$4/month, billed yearly, and add the ability to install plugins, a custom domain name, and no ads.
What’s the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org?
WordPress is a free, open source platform for building websites. WordPress.org is where you download the software, but you buy hosting separately and manage updates, plugins, and security yourself. WordPress.com is built on the same software and handles hosting, updates, backups, and security for you.
Can I use my own domain name?
Yes. On a paid plan, you can register a new domain name or connect one you already own. Annual and multi-year plans include a free domain name for the first year, and Privacy Protection and SSL are included.
Can I take payments and sell on my site?
Yes. Add payment buttons to take card payments right on your site, or add WooCommerce when you’re ready for a full store. Features and transaction fees vary by plan, so check the plan comparison.
What can I add to my site?
Contact forms and newsletters are built in. On any paid plan, you can also install any of 60,000+ plugins, or upload your own.
Do I own my website and content?
Yes. Your site, your content, and your data belong to you. WordPress.com is built on open source WordPress, so you can take it with you if you ever move. Your domain name is registered in your name, and you can transfer it out yourself.
Is my site secure?
Every plan includes a web application firewall, DDoS protection, malware detection and removal, spam protection, and automatic WordPress updates, plus a free SSL certificate. Real-time backups and one-click restores are available on Business and Commerce plans.
Will my site stay fast and online?
Since 2005, WordPress.com has delivered more than 99.99% uptime. Every site is replicated in real time to a second data center in a different region, and a global CDN keeps pages fast for visitors anywhere. Traffic is unmetered, with no overage fees.
What support do I get?
Paid plans include support from WordPress experts, and Business and Commerce plans add 24/7 priority support. Free sites can get help in the community forums.
Can I move my existing website to WordPress.com?
Yes. A built-in import tool moves your content from self-hosted WordPress and other platforms, and you can bring your domain name too. Our Website Design Services team can help if you’d like hands-on support.
Can I use AI to build and update my site?
Yes. The AI website builder drafts your first version from a conversation, and WordPress Agent helps you refine your copy, update your design, and draft posts after you launch. Usage limits apply on some plans.
Can I try WordPress.com before I commit?
Yes. Start with a free site, or try a paid plan risk-free with a 14-day money-back guarantee. You can switch plans anytime, and the unused portion of your current plan is credited toward the new one.
