    Im trying to add an Astore from Amazon on my site but it looks like the iframe code wont work so I guess I need to switch to another host to do so. Is this true or do I need to transfer my domain to dreamhost?

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

    Hi there,

    Unfortunately, we don’t allow iframe code on WordPress.com, due to security and stability concerns. This is the tradeoff we make in order to keep the millions of sites we host running at top speed with virtually no downtime.

    To use that iframe code, you’ll need to use your own hosting provider and install the free WordPress software at WordPress.org. If you are wondering how WordPress.com differs from WordPress.org, this support article explains the distinction: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    Is this true or do I need to transfer my domain to dreamhost?

    Because you just purchased your domain, if you decide to move to a self-hosted WordPress (also called “.org”) site, you can still use your domain here. That way you can transfer it close to it’s renewal date (Dec. 15 2014) rather than have to pay again so soon just to transfer.

    You can find instructions on how to use a domain here with a site hosted elsewhere: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-management/

    Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
