  Im considering purchasing a domain through WordPress. Can you please advise on the following:

  – where is the Domains hosted?
  – will I have full access to modify DNS records (I want to set up 365 emails with my domain name so need to be able to modify the DNS)
  – how much does it cost?
  – if I want to create sub domains is there a package fee or lower cost for sub domain sites?
  – do you still have full editing capabilities to update the site through WordPress?

  Hello there,

  Many thanks for reaching out.

  – where is the Domains hosted?

  The domain is hosted with WordPress.com.

  – will I have full access to modify DNS records (I want to set up 365 emails with my domain name so need to be able to modify the DNS)

  Yes, please see how to add custom DNS settings here: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/custom-dns/

  – if I want to create sub domains is there a package fee or lower cost for sub domain sites?

  If the domain is hosted with WordPress.com, you can create sub-domains by adding a CNAME record in the DNS settings.

  – do you still have full editing capabilities to update the site through WordPress?

  What capabilities are you looking for exactly? The reason why I ask is because this will be dependant on the plan required.

  Many thanks in advance.
