  Hello!
  I’m quite aware that you have a great premium plan and business plan, but I’d rather not pay 100$ because the only thing I’m searching for is extra space.
  I’ve reached the maximum of 3GB for my site and I currently love what I have. I heard about a space upgrade but I can’t seem to find it anywhere, and when I do it redirects me back to my premium plan.
  I’m willing to pay 20$ for an extra 10GB! But not 100$ when all I want is the extra space.
  Can you help me?

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

  Howdy @blamsart,

  Look for Space Upgrades within the Store.

  I only have two options. Of either upgrading to the premium plan or the business plan.
  Where is the space upgrades supposed to be?

  Did you click on the Store link I provided?

  Yup! I clicked on it and it brought me to that page. And I can’t see any option for a space upgrades anywhere.

  That’s interesting. I can select the Premium plan, Add a Domain, VideoPress, Custom Design, Space Upgrades and others…

  I can only Add a domain, Upgrade to premium, or upgrade to business.
  Who can help me get those extra options?

  I’m paying for Domain Mapping, perhaps that triggered my ability to see the other Paid Upgrades.

  Welcome to the new WordPress.COM – they have changed the upgrade policy – when they made the bundle pricing – they said that older accounts would still be able to buy individual upgrades and not need to buy the overpriced bundle with stuff you probably don’t need or want – now all accounts need to buy the bundle’s unless you are renewing an upgrade – so they sort of lied to us – your 10GB will now cost you $99.-/yr and not the original I think $20.-/yr

  Note that they did not send out a notice to everyone – I think the plan is to figure that only a few folks will figure out the change – keep it quiet and pay no attention to the upset users

  Sorry

  you can type “modlook” in the tags if you want to complain to the staff

  Thank you for your help,
  This really makes me sad that they felt the need to make it complicated. It sounded like a great option! I don’t know why they’d take it away. I’d decided not to buy it until I reached my limit too.
