  I would like to build my own website on wordpress and was thinking to go for ‘explorer’ plan. But i was wondering by choosing an explorer plan, do i only get to design my website and that’s all? How about the hosting? do i have to pay for it seperately? As soon as i’m done with the web design, how do i launch it? Please help me get the answers as its my first time building a website for my small company and i’m not a tech person

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: No

  Explorer Plan on WordPress.com1. What You Get

  • Website Design: You can use WordPress themes to design your website. WordPress.com provides a variety of customizable themes.
  • Storage: You get 6 GB of storage space for your media and files.
  • Free Domain for One Year: If you choose the yearly plan, you get a free custom domain for the first year.

  2. Hosting

  • Included: Hosting is included in all WordPress.com plans, including the Explorer plan. This means you don’t need to pay separately for hosting.

  3. Design and Customization

  • Themes and Plugins: While the Explorer plan provides access to themes, it has limited access to plugins. If you need more advanced customization, you might consider higher plans.
  • Divi Builder: The Divi Builder is generally available on self-hosted WordPress (WordPress.org). For advanced page building features like Divi, you might need to upgrade to a higher plan or consider WordPress.org.
