Can I Just Use Cloud Press and A Domain Name From You Only?
-
I discovered Cloud Press a few weeks ago. I liked what it can do and I was wondering if I could just use that app to make my website and buy a domain name from you guys? Instead of just paying a yearly amount for Cloud Press, a yearly amount for one of Word Press’ plans and then a yearly amount for a domain name from you guys. You guys did create Cloud Press, right? Just being sure.

Hi,
We did not create CloudPress and we are not affiliated with them. CloudPress appears to be an independent WordPress hosting service provider. They provide hosting space for self-hosted WordPress.org sites.
There are some differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org. If you aren’t sure about the differences, please check the following article that details the differences: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org
You can purchase your domain from us and point it to their hosting, but it may become costlier for you and a bit troublesome to pay for renewals at two places. I recommend you read the link above about the differences between WordPress.org and WordPress.com sites.
If WordPress.com sounds fit for you, please go ahead and register the domain at http://wordpress.com/domains . You may also check out some of our yearly plans for advanced features here: http://store.wordpress.com/plans
If you’d rather use a self-hosted WordPress.org sites for more flexibility like access to plugins and external themes, you can use CloudPress or any other WordPress hosting service provider of your choice. If you’d like to buy the domain from us, please go to http://wordpress.com/domains to register it.
You can later point the domain to an external host following the instructions from this page: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/change-name-servers/
Feel free to let me know if there’s anything else you need and I’ll be happy to help.
