custom plugins on a free plan

Hi guys,
Needed some help, understand that only paid plans have the option of installing custom plugins, my question is can I install a custom plugin on a free plan if I use an external hosting service for my wordpress? – say hostgator etc?

Hello there,
Yes, you are correct. If you transfer to an external hosting service you will be able to use custom plug-ins. You will also have to pay a hosting fee to your hosting service and manage more of the behind-the-scenes things that WordPress.com takes care of automatically.
If you would like to take a more detailed look at this we have a guide here that explains how to move to a self-hosting service:
I hope that is helpful and please let me know if you need any more support!

Hi there,
If you plan on using another service to host your WordPress site, then you don’t need a WordPress.com free site or a plan.
WordPress.com and the self-hosted version of WordPress.org are two different things and you can read more about it here:
