  I am new to website building and I am following youtube tutorial:
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sd0grLQ4voU

  In the video he showed how to install wordpress on Hostgator, and upload his theme into hostgator wordpress.

  But in my wordpress (I am using WordPress.com, not Hostgator), this option is … gone?

  Here is my question:
  1. Am I able to upload downloaded theme on to WordPress.com?
  2. If not, is there any other way beside using hostgator?

  Thanks to anyone who reply to my question, appreciate it very much.

  Hi there,

  I suggest you read through this guide that easily explains the differences between wordpress.com and self hosted, (hostgator or other hosting providers), wordpress accounts:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  And about upload themes on WordPress.com
  You can’t do that:
