  Can anyone enlighten me as to why I need to upgrade my acc with WP when I bough the Divi Themes and assumed this allowed me to upload fee free into WP?

  Plugin install for free is for self hosting WordPress. Please read the difference at here.

  Domain + hosting annual bill is very cheap compared if you pay service at WordPress.com. The difference is you need some knowledge about cpanel, some a little bit php wouldn’t hurt and if something happen to your site, you need troubleshoot it with your host provider.

  But then, there is a lot of tutorial video and text. It’s not that scary.

  PS: Elementor is better builder than DIVI.

  Hi there,

  Divi is a theme made for the open source WordPress software made on WordPress.org. That software is free to use, but hosting it on the web is not, so there is always some cost involved with using WordPress.

  You are posting in the support forums for the hosting provider, WordPress.com. We provide free hosting for our own, modified version of the WordPress software, but with limited options, and the option to install your own theme you bought somewhere else is only available if you upgrade to our Business Plan.
