  Hi,

  If this is a valid email address, please answer my questions,

  1. Do you have a chatroom or phone number to ask & answer questions? If so, how do I access it?

  2. If I have a VA handling my website, which is NOT WordPress, AND I want a WordPress blog, can I do it directly through you OR do I need another host. I guess the real question is DO YOU HOST SITES?

  3. If my non-Wordpress site has the name kaywhitneyyoung.com, Can I use kaywhitneyyoung/blog.com as the WordPress site OR do I need another domain name? If so, can I use kaywhitneyyoung/blog.wordpress.com? (Would I need the name kaywhitneyyoung/blog?

  Please help.

  Thank you.

  Hi Kay!

  This is a public forum, so I have edited your post to remove your personal contact information.

  1. For help with WordPress.com sites, you can post in the forums here or see here for more Help information: https://wordpress.com/help

  2. Yes, WordPress.com hosts sites. These are the ones you see with wordpress.com in the address (unless a custom domain is being used, which can hide that).

  3. You could use another domain for your WordPress.com blog, or map a subdomain, like blog.kaywhitneyyoung.com, to your site here at WordPress.com to use your existing domain (but leave your current site in place, while allowing a spot for your new blog).

  Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any more questions. :)

  Hi & thank you for confirming that you do host blogs. What is the charge for that hosting?

  Thank you,

  I forgot another question.

  Can I have the name kaywhitneyyoung.com/blog.wordpress.com?

  Thanks again,

  You’re welcome!

  You can compare the plans here: https://wordpress.com/plans/compare

  Site addresses are in this format here: yourblogname.wordpress.com

  If you map a domain to the site, you can use that instead of the one with wordpress.com in it, like blog.yourdomain.com or yourdomain.com.

  For present, I would like to stay with the free site for my blog. I would like to have the site name be:

  Hi Kay,

  You can’t have an address with a “/” in it but you can register this address:

  kaywhitneyyoungblog.wordpress.com

  Go to the WordPress.com Dashboard:

  https://wordpress.com/stats/insights/kaywhitneyyoungcom.wordpress.com

  Then click the “Add New Site” link at the very bottom left corner.
