  I’d like to add this plugin with a business site:

  http://memberfind.me/membership-software/

  Can I do that if I pay for the business upgrade? Do I also get domain emails (ex: (email visible only to moderators and staff) ?)

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  What would be my best bet for having a wordpress site + plugin availability?

  (Thank you so much, by the way!)

  Abandon your account here, buy hosting somewhere for about $120 a year, buy a theme, install WordPress.org software and the theme, buy a domain name and set up the nameservers, and away you go. You then have a WordPress.ORG blog and you’re responsible for all upgrades and security. You get technical help from your web host and WordPress.org’s servers.

  If there are certain specific things you want to do, certain results you want like lightbox galleries, etc, there are often workarounds so you don’t need plugins, but you need to tell us the exact result you’re going for.
