  I wish to to send emails to my personal email whenever somebody submits in the contact form. How can i do that?

  Also, I want to add a discussion forum/bulletin board. How can i do that?

  Are there any plugins that I can add to my site without any paid subscription?

  For the paid subscription, how does it work if i have my own website domain? will it be mapped to my current wordpress site? Do I need to transfer my domain to wordpress?

  Thank you!

  I wish to to send emails to my personal email whenever somebody submits in the contact form. How can i do that?

  That is what our contact form is supposed to do. What is the URL of the form that isn’t doing that?

  I want to add a discussion forum/bulletin board.

  Using a plugin here required a paid Business or higher plan: https://wordpress.com/support/plugins/#using-other-plugins

  So, I recommend asking for plugin recommendations at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/ instead.

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

  For the paid subscription, how does it work if i have my own website domain?

  It’s more a personal preference type of thing, really.

  Mapping allows you to keep the domain registered with your current domain registrar and direct it to your WordPress.com site: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/map-existing-domain/

  A transfer would allow to manage both your site and domain from the same place: https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/incoming-domain-transfer/

  So, basically, are you an “all of your eggs in one basket” type of person, or “not all of your eggs in one basket”? :)
