  Hi there,

  I can obtain the domain through wordpress yes?

  Your WordPress.com blog comes with a free address, like example.wordpress.com.

  You can get rid of the .wordpress.com part and use a custom domain name instead, like example.com.

  Adding a domain is a paid upgrade:

  Then to chose a template, I can go through pipdig yes?

  You can upload custom themes from third party sources on WordPress.COM sites only if you have upgraded to the Business Plan.

  More information about this can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

  With WordPress.com, it’s easy to create your own website or blog in seconds.

  For definition’s sake, a blog is a type of website that shows the newest content at the top of the page.
  A blog can also be one part of a website with multiple pages. On WordPress.com, you can choose any of those options, easily adding pages and other goodies to your site, customizing the style and appearance to your needs.

  Hope this Helps!!

  Thanks!!
