  Hi there, I’ve made a subscription with greengeeks to host my google workspace domain. I simply want to use wordpress as a tool for building my site through wordpress on greengeeks. Do I need a subscription? I thought wordpress was free but I’m not allowed to download a pllugin unless I upgrade to the business plan. Am I doing something wrong? Would appreciate any help! Thanks, Kassi

  If you’d like to host WordPress elsewhere, you can use the free software from https://wordpress.org/

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

  WordPress.org has complete documentation for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress.org at https://wordpress.org/support/ and support at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  With that said, if you’d like to manage your WordPress.org site through WordPress.com, that is one of the features of the Jetpack plugin: https://jetpack.com/support/getting-started-with-jetpack/
