  Hi All – I was in business online for 20 years – retired now and just need a simple page for this and that and several email addresses. I own our personal domain that is registered at GoDaddy (where I still own a dozen or more domains from before).

  What do you recommend for a simple, inexpensive starting point? Is direct at WordPress.com the best way to go (over an external WordPress host?). Is WordPress the best way to go?

  Thanks for your help!

  Hi Barb,

  I highly recommend WordPress.com. With a great collection of professionally-designed themes and thousands of easy‑to‑install plugins the platform really has no limits. Be it a simple blog or a fully fledged e-commerce site you can build it with WordPress.com.

  Fun fact: 39% of the web is built on WordPress, thus others believe in this awesome platform too.

  Your domain(s) can be easily redirected from GoDaddy or even moved to WordPress.com.

  I hope my short testimonial helps.

  Kind regards,
  Andrew

  I do have a question – in the past, we could make new email addresses on the fly, usually unlimited. I think I see that WordPress doesn’t offer that… (at all?). Yep, I’m confused.

  Hi there,

  We just recently added a new feature for users to add email addresses to their site if they wish. Here is more information on making new emails through WordPress.com:
