  I have a few questions about how the Business plan works. First, can a blog be built directly in the website if you choose to first set up a website at a custom domain? Or will it need to be 2 separate pages/plans? Do you offer email addresses at the custom domain and how much do they cost? If I choose to move to a different platform later, or grow my business and want to move my site to a web service/management company, can I take my URL with me or do I need to buy the URL separately (such as from HostGator) and link it within WordPress in order to do this?

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

  Hello @fortuitouslife

  can a blog be built directly in the website if you choose to first set up a website at a custom domain? Or will it need to be 2 separate pages/plans?

  You do not need separate plans for that. You can have both blog and a website with a single plan on a single website.

  Here’s the guide to create a website:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/

  When you follow the steps given on that link you can set up a separate page for your blog posts whose link can be added to the menubar of your site thereby you have both – a website and a blog.

  Do you offer email addresses at the custom domain and how much do they cost?

  On WordPress.com we provide e-mail forwarding, but if you’d rather have full email hosting, you can connect another provider to your custom domain.

  If I choose to move to a different platform later, or grow my business and want to move my site to a web service/management company, can I take my URL with me or do I need to buy the URL separately (such as from HostGator) and link it within WordPress in order to do this?

  No if you wish to keep your domain when you are leaving WordPress you can either Customize the DNS records of you domain to connect it to your externally hosted site or you can Transfer the domain to your desired registrar so that you can manage the domain from there.

  Hope these help 🙂
