Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out!
It depends on what exactly you’d like to do and which features you’d like to have on your site. You can find out more here: https://wordpress.com/pricing/
If you have a specific question on a plan, please let me know!
-
Hello,
You can host with WordPress.com for free.
But you can use the paid plans to take advantage of all the WordPress.com features.
Please have a look at the plan comparison here: https://wordpress.com/pricing/Best of luck.

Hi @sully00,
We have everything from Free plans to Business plans that allow full customization.
If you look out our pricing page (https://wordpress.com/pricing/) you can see each plan allows for more features, more space.
Starting on the Personal plan you can have custom domains added, the Premium plan allows for CSS customization, and the Business allows plugins and Commercial/Custom themes.
The main issue will be your budget and how much flexibility you need to manage your site.
I hope this helps you, best regards.

ok so you dont need blue host to host with wordpress you can just use a plan and the hosteing comes with it ?
-
That’s correct. As long as you are set with the options that are underneath the free plan on https://wordpress.com/pricing/, you should be good to go!
If you want more options, such as creating a custom domain, you can view our paid plans, which vary in what they offer.
I hope this helps!

Hi @sully00,
I’m a bit confused as to why you think you need Blue Host. Can you clarify? You can find out how much all the WordPress.com plans cost here: https://wordpress.com/pricing/
Anything from Personal and up come with a free domain name.
Let me know if you have any other questions!

re: purchasing WordPress.COM upgrades
If you are migrating from a self hosted WordPress.ORG site to WordPress.COM please see: Moving from a Self-Hosted WordPress to WordPress.com
https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-from-self-hosted-wordpress-to-wordpress-com/ https://en.support.wordpress.com/coming-from-self-hosted/Otherwise see: Importing Content from Another Platform
https://en.support.wordpress.com/import/#importing-content-from-another-platformWordPress.com provides free blogs and hosts them free of charge. There are no bandwidth charges. All WordPress.com blogs come with 3000 megabytes (~3 GBs) of space for storing uploaded files and images. Free features are listed here https://en.wordpress.com/features/
We have 4 different plans: free, personal, premium and business. All hosting is free regardless of which plan you choose. You can view all wordpress.com plan features here https://wordpress.com/pricing/ Add a plan for each of your sites here: http://store.wordpress.com/plans/.
Details:
There are no trial upgrades, do discounts, no promo codes, no monthly payment plans, no bulk deal upgrades, and no multiple year upgrades. Also note that proforma invoices are not issued and purchase orders are not accepted.We are billed annually and we must pay for all upgrades in full at the time of purchase after selecting a plan.
Each upgrade bundle applies to a single blog only and is for a single year only when it is due to be renewed. (The only exceptions are one time upgrades for premium themes and guided transfers.)
Premium plan upgrades and Business plan upgrades include access to all premium themes found here https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/sort/premium/ as well as all free themes found here https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/sort/free/
Premium upgraded sites and Business upgraded sites are automatically accepted into the WordAds program.
https://en.support.wordpress.com/monetize-your-site/
https://wordads.co/The Business upgrade includes:
• Google analytics
• Footer Credit Options https://en.support.wordpress.com/footer-credits/
• SEO Tools https://en.support.wordpress.com/seo-tools/
• The ability to install most plugins including woocommerce and the ability to install third party themes.If and when you upgrade from Personal to Premium or from Premium to Business you pay the difference between the two plans. If you have a site with a custom domain and then upgrade to a plan, you’ll receive an automatic discount for the domain, but you will need to buy the plan using the same username account that already owns the domain.
You can also downgrade to a cheaper plan, but that requires staff assistance. Also note that if you downgrade outside the refund period of a plan, we might not be able to give a refund anymore for the difference in cost, so downgrading is best done when a plan is about to renew.
How domain mapping works
Registering an underlying .wordpress.com URL first is required for domain mapping. That underlying URL does not have to match the domain URL when you are domain mapping. What domain mapping does is providing a seamless redirect to the very same content under the new domain URL when a person clicks the old URL .wordpress.com to the original content. It can take up to 72 hours for domain propagation to take place throughout the internet but it doesn’t usually take that long. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/There are 3 ways to add a custom domain to your blog. Please note that an active WordPress.com plan is required to add a custom domain to your site. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#getting-started
WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible. http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/ The domain or mapping of any existing domain URL is included in the pricing for a personal upgrade, a premium and a business upgrade. The WordPress.COM upgrade for mapping a domain must be renewed annually.
WordPress.com does not provide an email service for blogs on their sub domains or on custom domains. Please see these support docs
https://en.support.wordpress.com/add-email/
https://en.support.wordpress.com/email-forwarding/Before you upgrade
Make sure you read the comparison very closely do you know exactly what the restrictions and limitations on WordPress.COM blogging are: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/Also read Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading

This thread was being responded to correctly by koulovat and your posting into it was not required. Know that multiple volunteers posting into the same thread can lead the person who posted into it to become frustrated and even angry. When that happens they have a poor impression of our service and may even complain to Staff about the confusion they endured.

You have been answered above and what you need to do is read what I posted.
Unless the wordpress.COM hosted site in question has an annually renewable Business Upgrade you cannot upload any custom theme or any third party theme.

Hi,
WordPress.com provides hosting service and it’s different from WordPress.org.You can start out with WordPress.com free service which would look like yoursitename.wordpress.com. Later on, you can upgrade to a paid plan to remove the WordPress so your site looks like yoursitename.com
Here is a link to the various plans: https://wordpress.com/pricing/Also, you can choose to pay for hosting with blue host or any other host, download WordPress from WordPress.org and install.
