Hi, we are looking at moving a custom-themed blog from our own hosting to the paid business WordPress.com hosted platform and have some questions: [1] Is a free trial available for the business level service? [2] Can we apply and maintain our own custom theme? (including HTML and CSS) [3] Do we have ftp access to theme or content folders? Thanks in advance
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello there,
I am happy to help answer your questions as best I can :)
[1] Is a free trial available for the business level service?
Unfortunately there are no free trials available for the upgraded plans here at WordPress.com. However, there is an option for a refund within the first 30 days.
See this link to a similar forum thread question, the answer given by a long time volunteer is very informative![2] Can we apply and maintain our own custom theme? (including HTML and CSS)
With the business plan you are able to upload your own custom theme, see here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/uploading-setting-up-custom-themes/
Also, you are able to edit HTML and CSS, with your Business Plan upgrade.Please keep in mind that there are no limitations on code allowed on a Business Plan site, therefore, you should only add code that comes from a reputable source. See here for more information: https://en.support.wordpress.com/code/#business-plan
[3] Do we have ftp access to theme or content folders?
WordPress.com does not allow FTP (File Transfer Protocol) access for security reasons. Please see here for more information regarding this: https://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
Also, here is a link with some more information about the Business Plan: https://en.support.wordpress.com/business-plan/
Hope this helps to answer your questions, and welcome to WordPress.com!
