  Hello,

  I would please like some help.

  I want to build an information based website: featuring a blog, embedded videos, a page for downloading PDFs (gated), and up to 4 or more pages for showcasing products/services. Also a contact form. I am interested in the Periodical Theme.

  Any ideas/suggestions?

  My domain is hosted with Hover.com. How do I integrate the WordPress website with my domain registrar?

  Thank you!

  Wale

  Hi there,

  featuring a blog,

  Every WordPress.com site can create a blog, it’s one of the most iconic features about WordPress.com!

  embedded videos

  Uploading videos directly to your website requires the Premium or Business Plan, as that comes with VideoPress. https://en.support.wordpress.com/videopress/

  However, all plans (including free) can embed a video on WordPress.com if hosted by a popular video hosting service, such as YouTube or Vimeo: http://support.wordpress.com/videos/

  a page for downloading PDFs

  All sites can upload PDFs: https://en.support.wordpress.com/uploading-documents/

  up to 4 or more pages for showcasing products/services

  You’re welcome to create as many pages as you need. https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/

  Also a contact form

  Every WordPress.com site can do this. https://en.support.wordpress.com/forms/contact-form/

  I am interested in the Periodical Theme.

  This is a Premium theme on WordPress.com, so it can be purchased with a one time fee or by having the Premium/Business Plan. https://wordpress.com/theme/periodical

  My domain is hosted with Hover.com. How do I integrate the WordPress website with my domain registrar?

  You’re welcome to transfer your domain to WordPress.com. https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/

  Let us know if you have any further questions or issues. :)

  Hi whalsy,

  Hosting costs for WordPress.com sites are included in all our plans and you compare them here:

  https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  Each plan includes a set amount of storage space apart from the Business plan, which is unlimited.

  I hope this helps.
