  Hi

  I am interested in purchasing the Business upgrade and I am wondering if that includes hosting?

  if so does this set up automatically once I upgrade? or do i have to install something?

  thanks,

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  No charge for the hosting for any site

  Yes, WordPress.com is a hosted WordPress platform, which means the hosting comes bundled in all packages (including the free tier)! If you run a free WordPress.com blog now, that is being hosted right now for absolutely free.

  When you start a basic blog – hosting is free at that point – no upgrade changes that ever – the upgrades are just what is listed – No Ads, space, Video Press etc. You do nothing about the hosting – no install anything

  http://worldofboulevard.wordpress.com/ – is hosted for free – you can’t pay for hosting no matter what – upgrades just sit on top of your free hosted blog

  Adding your own domain is domain mapping and you pay $ 13.-/yr for domain mapping if you already have a domain name – hosting is still free and there is no extra charge for hosting

  You be welcome

  Note: even the VIP sites that start around $ 20,000/yr get free hosting
