  WP hosts 3 free websites for me. What would the monthly fee be to host them free of ads + email address? All emails are forwarded to gmail, no storage needed. I am a sole proprietor. See http://www.bregmetro.com, http://www.riseit.net, http://www.mayermix.net. Please reply via (email visible only to moderators and staff). Thank you. Cordially, Mayer Segal.

  Hi Mayer,

  bregmetro.com, riseit.net and mayermix.net are all WordPress.org sites hosted by 1&1 rather than WordPress.com.

  To make sure I’ve understood your plans — do you want to move all three sites from 1&1 and host them on WordPress.com instead?

  We can only contact the email address on your Account Settings page so it would be worth updating that information if you would like to receive replies at another address.

  Just let me know and we can go from there.

  GM thanks for your reply. I am considering to xfer domains to WP to: elim the ads (am getting complaints about them), and to host my EM. Is it simpler to buy the basic plan to elim the ads @ WP, leaving EM with my domain host, or xfer all to WP. All emails forward to Gmail. I look forward to your reply. :)

  Hi, I’m not sure what you mean by EM… can you clarify?

  To answer your pricing question: all of our pricing is per site. So you could get three plans, one for each separate site.

  All of our paid plans include a domain credit. The domain credit can be used to map the domain to our servers, or you can use it to transfer AND map the domain here so you don’t have to pay separate renewal fees elsewhere.

  Good evening. Thanks for getting back to me. The domain xferred within 12hrs; the ads are gone from my website. Email is forwarding from wordpress to my gmail acct, yet what are the settings from wordpress to send email from the free gmail acct as the email account from my domain? (i.e. smtp server and port)

  Great — I see you’ve purchased a custom domain and plan now.

  yet what are the settings from wordpress to send email from the free gmail acct as the email account from my domain?

  For that to work, you would need email hosting through a service like G Suite:

  There is also more information about adding email hosting (rather than forwarding) here:
