Is hosting covered with premium themes?
-
IF I buy a premium theme. Like this one
http://dynamicnewsdemo.wordpress.com/dropdown-menu/drop-menu-1/
Does that include hosting? or is it hosted on wordpress.com? Or do I just pay the 99 a year and for wordpress.com and a one time fee of 65 bucks for the theme?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

All sites on WordPress.com are free. It’s the upgrades that are additional.
So, if you buy a Premium Theme upgrade, that is a one-time purchase.
If you buy the Premium bundle upgrade, that is an annually renewing purchase.
You don’t need to buy the Premium bundle in order to buy a Premium Theme. They are separate upgrades.
And, regardless of upgrades, all WordPress.com sites are bound by the same Terms of Service, which you can review here: https://en.wordpress.com/tos/

Thank you. But I think you missed my point.
Let’s say I pay 79 bucks for a theme on wordpress.com
http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/watson/
Do I have to buy hosting ALSO ?
Or is that 79 bucks covers one year of hosting?
or I pay 99 a year for wordpress.com premium every years (which I guess includes hosting) and just the 79 for that theme one time?
-
Also if I my website has high traffic will I get throttled like bluehost and hostgater do? (they jam lots of sites on one server)
or since the theme is from wordpress.com and I am a premium member of wordpress.com I will get more cpu and ram resources?
-
Do I have to buy hosting ALSO ?
WordPress.com websites are hosted free of charge.
Or is that 79 bucks covers one year of hosting?
If the 79 bucks is for purchasing a Premium Theme, then it’s a one-time expense and hosting your WordPress.com site is free.
or I pay 99 a year for wordpress.com premium every years
The 99US$/year for the Premium bundle is for a set of upgrades for your free WordPress.com website, which include purchasing and mapping a custom domain name to your free WordPress.com website, uploading videos directly to your WordPress.com website, DIY website customization through CSS, removal of all advertising that WordPress.com places on websites (to keep free features free) and 10GB of additional storage to the 3GB available on free WordPress.com websites. The full list of Premium features is here: http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/
And again, if you are moving a business website to WordPress.com, please review the Terms of Service carefully to determine if the service here is a good fit for your requirements. https://en.wordpress.com/tos/

You may also want to review the differences between WordPress.com, which is where we are, and using paid hosting with a standalone WordPress install to understand their differences and limitations.

Thanks. What about ram and cpu usuage? Let’s say I get 10k visitors a month. Will I cut into others ram and cpu usuage?
-
As far as I know, no problem. There are over 48 million websites hosted on WordPress.com.
Again, before we continue here, I strongly recommend reading the Terms of Service with a close eye to detail because WordPress.com can and will suspend free hosted WordPress.com websites for terms of service violations, without prior notice.
Best wishes.

we are not sure why you keep telling us to read the tos.
how many website hosting companies constantly tell the members read the tos, read the tos. I guess where there is smoke there is fire.
Anyways. When you say
“WordPress.com can and will suspend free hosted WordPress.com websites for terms of service violations, without prior notice.”
is that refering to the 99 a year or premium also? or just the free?
And again. My site is just a fitness website that is it. Don’t get paraniod.

My replies come from my nearly 7 years of experience here as a forum volunteer.
The bottom line is that all sites hosted on WordPress.com, regardless of upgrades, including the Premium and/or Business upgrades, are bound by the Terms of Service.
My site is just a fitness website that is it. Don’t get paraniod.
That doesn’t tell me much. Are you going to be selling products on your site? Are you going to want to sell advertising on your website? Are you planning on adding a forum to your website? There are a lot of features that you may need where WordPress.com may not be a good fit for you.
Spend some time reading the links I gave you earlier and hopefully you will be able to decide whether you need free hosted WordPress.com or paid hosting with the standalone WordPress software.
Again, best wishes.

I will pay for paid premium.
I will have google adsense
and sell t shirts using paypal.
this is my site
what do you tink?
-
You will not have Google Adsense: it is banned here.
Paid posts are banned here.
Blogger-initiated advertising is banned here.
-
My apologies. Can you recommend a hosting company that is good for wordpress sites, under 25 a month?
-
No. You can find recommendations over at the WordPress.ORG support forums, where independently hosted blogs are supported.
-
-
We do not answer WordPress.org questions. The answers depend on which host you get. Ask them.

You can use Amazon affiliate links SPARINGLY in a free WP.com blog. If you do an extensive review of a book, for instance, you can use an affiliate text link (no image links or widgets) to link to the book on Amazon.
You cannnot make a blog whose whole purpose is affiliate links, or which has affiliate links in every post. That doesn’t change unless you get to the $30,000 a year VIP program.
