    1. Preinstalled SSL security means encrypted informations between a user and the website? it will be ‘https’ automatically? If it is, then I will not purchase an additional SSL (from name cheap).

    2. For the ‘Remove WordPress.com branding’ , what exactly does this branding appear? at the footer?

    3.For the ‘Remove WordPress.com ads’, what exactly does the ads appear?

    4. How many traffics can go to the website at once?

    Site: https://21ads.wordpress.com.
    Correct account: Yes

    1. Correct.
    2. With a Business plan you can remove mention of WordPress.com in the footer.
    3. Ads appear on free sites to help WordPress.com continue to offer free sites. Usually there are two that display beneath each post. Ads may appear in a sidebar if you have one. A paid plan allows you to remove the ads.
    4. There is no bandwidth limit at WordPress.com.

    Hi there!


    @themagicrobot     has already answered your questions correctly, I just wanted to point you to some resources in case you have more questions. :)

    1. Your WordPress.com site comes with SSL certificates. If you use a custom domain, once the domain is configured and propagated, we will install the SSL certificate automatically. You don’t need to purchase SSL from a different provider. Learn more about installing SSL Certificates on WordPress.com sites here.

    2. The WordPress.com branding appears at the footer of WordPress.com sites. Your free site at https://21ads.wordpress.com/ says Blog at WordPress.com at the footer. That’s what this is referring to. We have options to change the branding (see how to change footer credits), but in order to remove it completely, your site needs to be on the WordPress.com Business plan or higher. You can check out our plans and pricing here: https://wordpress.com/pricing

    3. Ads appear in different places — header, below posts, on the sidebar, etc. — on free WordPress.com sites. By upgrading to a paid plan, your site will no longer show ads unless you participate in a program like WordAds (available with the Premium plan and higher).

    4. WordPress.com sites offer unlimited bandwidth (on all plans) so you don’t have to worry about high traffic. If you need help with getting more traffic, though, we have some suggestions: Getting more views and traffic.

    Hope that helps!
