Best plan for me

  • Unknown's avatar

    I’m a web developer by trade. I’ve been freelancing creating websites from scratch using html, css and javascript, however I want to try out using wordpress for freelancing.

    I want to enquire about the perfect plan for me. I’ll need to be able to create multiple websites, right now I have three clients wanting a site, as of right now I won’t need much functionality beyond contact forms and content ‘mostly’ pages. Also, if a client already pays for hosting, and has a domain, how do I go about integrating WordPress with their existing domain?

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  • Hi there!

    Bear in mind that WordPress.com is an alternative to other hosting companies so your clients will want to get one of our plans or keep their current hosting where they can install a self-hosted version of WordPress.

    There are two ways to use WordPress:

    1. You can either use the WordPress software downloaded from WordPress.org onto one of hosting companies, it is also called self-hosted site.
    2. You may host your site with us, here at WordPress.com. We take care of hosting, domain (if you wish), security, SEO and more for you. You don’t need to know any code.

    You can learn more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org here:

    I would consider the Premium plan for a site that needs form, pages, and a custom domain. If you decide later to develop the site you can upgrade to a Business plan at any time. You can find all plans here: https://wordpress.com/pricing, including prices. One site needs one plan.

    The domain can be connected to the site hosted here by following this guide: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/map-existing-domain/

    If you have any more questions let us know!
