business plan and my new forum
-
Hi everyone
I am going to start my business plan for my only and new forum that I wanna make using wordpress and I have some questions :
Does wordpress provide a domain name and hosting all in one? or I have to pay for them separately?
Can I get .com directly to my forum ?
myforum.com , for example ?Are there unknown fees that I am not aware of other than the charge for a business plan? for example, if my forum gets bigger and bigger are there any extra charges for that ?
I know that there is Arabic language in wordpress. is the registration form for new members will be in Arabic ? and can I edit it later to make it more clear and understandable for the members ?
Does the business plan include tools like themes and pictures to make the forum more beautiful?
Can I get more custom sites from one business plan?
Can I use subdomains? are they important ?
is my forum gonna be secured with s?
is sticking with a bussness plan for all my forum life gonna give me a secured and permently stored data (members topics etc) and a piece of mind? honestly I don’t wanna lose all my efforts.
Does wordpress provide backup services? is it easy to be done? does they charge extra money for it?
is my forum gonna be viewed in google search? how long does it take?
Finally, If there is anything important you can add for me as a beginner, I will appreciate it.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there, the WordPress.com Personal, Premium and Business plans all include registration for one domain as part of the plan. You can review the features and what is included by clicking the above link.
You mentioned Forum. By that do you mean a blog, or are you wanting a full forum type of site? If so, the bbPress plugin can provide that for you and can be installed on Business plan sites here.
There are no extra charges for bandwidth, and we host some very large sites that get hundreds of thousands of page views each day, so you have no worries there.
The Business plan comes with unlimited storage space, so as your site grows, there will be no issues.
Not all of our themes have been fully translated into all languages, so it will depend partially on which theme you end up choosing for your site.
A Business plan upgrade is for one site. If you wanted additional sites with a Business plan on each, you would need to buy a plan for those other sites.
Subdomains can be mapped to WordPress.com sites, but in general, top level domains are better for SEO than subdomains. Subdomains end up relying more on the ranking of the top level domain and aren’t really considered by search engines as separate.
All sites hosted at WordPress.com are secured with SSL, so they will be https://…
We continually backup all of the sites hosted here so your data is safe.
When it comes to search engines, we ping them whenever you publish a new post or page, but as far as how long it will take for a site to show up in searches depends on your level of traffic and ultimately on the search engines themselves.
This support page should be useful to you and discusses the features of the Business plan.

Can I make a blog and a forum using one domain name?
( best for small business) that’s written on the business plan. why? is it not best for a large business?
about renewing after one year, will you let me know by mobile messages? I don’t check my email regularly?
What if I can’t pay at the time, is there an extended period of time for me before they close the site? -
about renewing after one year, will you let me know by mobile messages? I don’t check my email regularly?
That isn’t possible directly from our end. The notification is sent to the email address listed at https://wordpress.com/me/account/
The renewal will happen automatically so long as an active card remains on file.
Additionally you could set up some sort of forwarding from our notifications to your mobile number. Either with an email filter, or perhaps IFTTT. I didn’t actually see if it is possible but might be worth it for you if checking email is not common.
What if I can’t pay at the time, is there an extended period of time for me before they close the site?
You’ll get a notification from us in advance of the renewal. 30 days before the renewal date we will attempt to process the renewal. If there is an issue you would then hear from us again and have time to get funds together before the actual expiration date happens. At the expiration date you could lose ownership of your domain.
( best for small business) that’s written on the business plan. why? is it not best for a large business?
Yes, large businesses can also use our business plan. Having a business is not a requirement of the plan, just a name.
Can I make a blog and a forum using one domain name?
Yep. You would need some type of forum plugin in or use the p2 theme. https://wordpress.com/themes/p2/
