Choosing an Upgrade Plan
-
Trying to decide on a plan that inexpensive will allow me to add widgets and customize more things. Is there a student plan option or something?
-
There is no discount for anyone based on any discriminatory factors like age or student staus or non-profit status. We all pay the same amount in full for every upgrade.
-
WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

Domains
http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/WordPress.com provides free blogs and hosts them free of charge. There are no bandwidth charges. All WordPress.com blogs come with 3000 megabytes (~3 GBs) of space for storing uploaded files and images. Free features are listed here https://en.wordpress.com/features/
All wordpress.com hosted blogs are on wordpress.com subdomains like this: *http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com
See here for details of all 3 plans http://store.wordpress.com/bundles/ offered by WordPress.com.
Premium bundle details http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/
Business bundle details http://store.wordpress.com/plans/business/Note that each upgrade applies to a single blog only and is for a single year only when it is due to be renewed.
Also, note that premium theme purchases apply to a single blog only and are for the lifetime of the blog while hosted by WordPress.COM, and the Premium upgrade does not include any premium themes. http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/premium-themes/
Neither the free plan nor the Premium plan will allow you to upload your own themes or plugins. More to the point is that WordPress.com blogs cannot be equipped for eCommerce transactions unless they have the $299. per year Business upgrade.
