  Hi,

  I am currently using weebly – http://www.weebly.com for a few of my websites and would like to look at using wordpress for a few of my other websites that are currently just html websites & need updating
  I am interested in purchasing the “Premium WordPress Plan – $99 per year” but have a few questions before I do so;

  1) No access to plugins – I have just created a free wordpress blog to play around with… and there is no “Plugins” tab anywhere to install plugins, why is this?

  2) Security – this is my main concern… I previously had a wordpress website a few years ago which got hacked into from one of the plugins that I had installed. The website actually got blacklisted from google & other search engines… I ended up having to delete the entire website & start from scratch
  (I was quite disappointed with this because I had literally lost 100 of hours of previous work)

  Also i know wordpress is very popular with hackers… even if you do a search on google and type in “hack wordpress website” – there is tons of tutorials/guides and videos all on how to hack wordpress websites

  I know that there is ways to secure and prevent your wordpress website from getting hacked (by make sure all your plugins are updated & installing security plugins etc.) – but because I have many different businesses & many different websites… i just do not have the time to be doing any of this type of stuff…
  All the other website builders out there – eg. weebly.com/wix.com/webs.com guarantee protection of your website and automatically update all there plugins etc for you and you do not have to worry about doing any of this type of stuff.
  Is this the same case for wordpress?

  3) Pricing & Multiple Website Discounts
  Alot of my websites are currently under the http://www.weebly.com “Starter Plan” which only costs ($3.29 per month / $49 per year) – this gives me access to alot of features – including unlimited bandwith, e-commerce store etc.
  Because I have a number of websites that I would like to transfer over to wordpress (8 websites atm @ $99 per year each = will cost me $800 per year)… I was wondering if you offer a package deal for multiple websites?

  Thanks for any help in advance.
  Chris

  1) http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
  2) much more security than you’re used to, in part because of disallowing plugins.
  3) what do you want? Bandwidth here is unlimited; we had a site that had 145 million hits in two days and did not go down. Ecommerce is extremely limited here: you can either use the paypal buy it now button or you can get the $300 a year business upgrade that has certain ecommerce options. There is no discount for multiple commercial sites.
