    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No

    Hello –

    Thanks for writing to us. On WordPress.com we handle your hosting and much more.

    On WordPress.com our team offers a managed hosting environment. This means that we handle all the back end details of the site. Things like back ups, updates, security, spam, seo, ssl, mobile optimization, top notch hosting specs, and sorting out any errors or bugs that pop up along the way. When you run a stand alone WordPress installation, like what y’all have set up, then all of those details fall on to you – so instead of being able to focus on content you spend a ton of time and frustration fixing these sort of issues.

    Can you share more details about the project?

    I’m trying to get a solid understanding of which hosting plan is right for your project to meet the functionality requirements you have now, but also let you grow in the future. Those plans, costs, and features are all outlined on https://wordpress.com/pricing/

    You can get started with the personal option and upgrade further when needed. We only charge you the difference between the plans when making additional upgrades.

    Other questions:

    • do you plan to sell anything on the site?
    • do you have a custom email solution?
    • do you already own the domain?
    • are you planning to host large file size items like videos?

    We have some great tips on getting started on the pages below.
