    I have a domain and website already, AGraceAcquisitions.com, however I may need to cancel the other provider I have who is hosting, etc. will it be easy to drop them, and start a website with you>?

    I have 3 url’s that need websites total in the future. Do you charge per website?

    If right now all I need is a blog, will I have the option to make a website when I’m ready? How much for that plan?

    I will need a form on my websites, which will in turn capture a leads name, email, and phone number. The provider I have now has that for me and it sends a notification to my email and cellphone, do you have that option as well? If you do, can I place that form anywhere I would like or strictly on my website? Will I have a link to that form?

    I know there are a few questions, but I need to know before I go ahead and purchase. Thank you very much.

    Great questions! I’ll go in order.

    For your existing domain name, you can simply use Domain Mapping to point your WordPress.com upgraded blog to that domain name. Once it’s up and running, you can cancel the hosting at your previous provider, but your domain name will still be registered with them, so you’d renew it with them as well.

    There is a per-site charge. Each upgraded plan comes with a domain credit that can either be used to map an existing domain name or obtain a new one. You can see the plans at https://wordpress.com/pricing/

    Later, if you expand a website beyond the capabilities of WordPress.com, you can create and host the site elsewhere while still maintaining the blog itself as part of your newly expanded site. WordPress.org self-hosted sites have a lot of that flexibility but require a bit more user configuration and maintenance.

    The contact form option on WordPress.com is available and will cover your needs. You can read more about it at https://en.support.wordpress.com/forms/contact-form/

    No problem on the number of questions! If you have any more, feel free to reply.
