Hi there!
Third party plugins cannot be installed on WordPress.com sites. This is a security risk as we cannot vet all outside code and it puts our users, their sites, and our servers at risk.
Plugins are only usable on self-hosted WordPress.org sites.
I know the difference between .com and .org can get confusing, so here’s a breakdown of the benefits of each:

Please let me know! Cheers.

Good day!
Thank you very much for the quick reply.
The plugin which I want to put to be the link:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/aviasalesru-search-widget/There is an archive containing multiple files and specify what should this file be copied to the folder “/wp-content/plugins/” on server.
It is international service for booking tickets and hotels.
Tell me, is there anyway to integrate it in my blog or this is only possible if I register my own domain, buy hosting, server and install the blog there?
Thank you!

Hello again!
If you want to use that specific plugin, you will indeed need to self-host your own version of a WordPress.com site.
We do have a reservation widget that can be used on certain themes, but it will not act in the same way the AviaSales plugin will.
If you don’t want to self-host a site, and prefer to keep hosting here at WordPress.com, my suggestion to you is to create your own button/widget that links to your reservations page on the outside website. That can be done by following these instructions:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/create-your-own-widget/
On the other hand, if WordPress.org/self-hosting is important, this guide will step you through the process of moving your site to a WordPress.org instance:

As we only support sites hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new site – including the importing of the file – must be taken to the WordPress.org support community:
If you’d like assistance moving your WordPress.com site to WordPress.org, we have a service called Guided Transfer that does all the work for you. Check it out to see if it’s right for you:

I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!

Thanx a lot for answer!
Tell me please about this point;
“If you don’t want to self-host a site, and prefer to keep hosting here at WordPress.com, my suggestion to you is to create your own button/widget that links to your reservations page on the outside website. That can be done by following these instructions:”
I dont understand. If i make my own widget, can i use all functions of “aviasales” or it will be my own widget IN ALL? “Aviasales” widget is a partner programm to earn money on my blog, so its important to use their software.
Thanks!

I see, if you need to use the entire functionality of Aviasales’ widget, making your own widget won’t work. If you created your own widget, it would basically be a button/link that would bring your visitors to your page on Aviasales’ website.
The widget itself would not work in the same manner that Aviasales’ cut-and-paste widget would work on a self-hosted site.
If you have other questions, please let me know! Thanks so much.
