  Good day Ma’am/ Sir:
  We would like to ask regarding our website. What is the best plan to subscribe for our website? We would like our website to have option for online purchases and also is it possible if we can provide options for others to put their ads on our website? And how can we obtain a personal domain for our website? Are we capable of choosing our own domain if ever we purchase a plan for our website? We also need to have our own email address for our website i.e. ((email visible only to moderators and staff)).

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

  Hello @fashionbombsbahrain,

  I’m happy to help answer your questions on plans and domains at WordPress.com .

  What is the best plan to subscribe for our website?

  This really depends on what your goals are for your website. It may help to check out the available plans to determine what you get on each plan and what makes sense for you. Here’s a link that describes each plan a little further: https://en.support.wordpress.com/plan-features/

  We would like our website to have option for online purchases…

  There are different ways you can add payment options to your website on different plans. If you only have a few items to sell, then using PayPal buttons might be the best route. If you need something more, then Simple Payments may be another alternative for you. Simple Payments will require that you have a Premium or Business plan. You may want a full featured store which will require that you’re on the Business plan as well.

  …also is it possible if we can provide options for others to put their ads on our website?

  Yes, it’s possible to monetize your website through ads, affiliate links and more as long as you’re on a Premium or Business plan. There are some on the Free or Personal plan who have successfully joined the WordAds program as well. You can read more about what is needed to join WordAds here. You can also learn more about monetizing your website here.

  And how can we obtain a personal domain for our website?

  You can add as many free domains as you like to your account. By free, I mean it will have .wordpress.com on the end of it. If you want to have a custom domain, then you’ll either purchase one or use the free domain credit you get when you purchase a plan. You can read more about domains here.

  Are we capable of choosing our own domain if ever we purchase a plan for our website?

  Yes. The Personal, Premium and Business plans come with a free domain credit to use to register a new domain. If you already own a domain, you can use the domain credit to transfer or map a domain.

  We also need to have our own email address for our website

  Yes, you have the option to add an email service or have email forwarding with your website.

  I hope this information helps! Let us know if you have further questions. :)
