    I am a university student that is looking to use wordpress and i only need it for 3 months max. I would like the features of premium membership but dont want to be tied into anything that will keep me paying for a whole year.

    I only need my tutor and external examiner to even look on my wordpress site once and that is when they are marking what i have done, hence the reason why i will only need it for a max of 2-3 months (slow marking).

    Is there any way i could take advantage of the free trial for 14 days and potentially have a minimal plan which is only used for my basic needs?

    Any recommendations will be appreciated

    Thanks

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    There is no such thing as partial payments here. We all pay for a one year subscription to upgrades in full at the time of purchase.

    No. A 14 day free trial is exactly what is on offer. You have to provide your financial information to get into the trial and if you fail to cancel within 14 days then the upgrade becomes an annually renewable one.

    WordPress.com provides free blogs and hosts them free of charge. There are no bandwidth charges. All WordPress.com blogs come with 3000 megabytes (~3 GBs) of space for storing uploaded files and images. Free features are listed here https://en.wordpress.com/features/

    See here for details of all 3 plans http://store.wordpress.com/bundles/ offered by WordPress.com.
    Premium bundle details http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/
    Business bundle details http://store.wordpress.com/plans/business/

    Note that each upgrade bundle applies to a single blog only and is for a single year only when it is due to be renewed.

    Also note that premium theme purchases apply to a single blog only and are for the lifetime of the blog while hosted by WordPress.COM, and the Premium upgrade does not include any premium themes. http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/premium-themes/ No premium theme purchase entitles use on any more than a single blog.

    You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard and purchase upgrades at > Store > My Upgrades
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/my-upgrades/

    Your options for payment are found here http://en.support.wordpress.com/payment/

    Your billing history will be at Dashboard > Store > Billing History

    Neither the free plan or the Premium plan allow you to upload your own themes or plugins. WordPress.com blogs cannot be equipped for eCommerce transactions unless they have the $299. per year Business upgrade. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/ecommerce-is-now-available-on-wordpresscom?replies=1

    i was wondering if the site i create in 14 days would still be available to view after i have cancelled it.

    The underlying .wordpress.com site will still be there but all changes made in accord with the upgrades in the bundle including the domain URL and any CSS editing will be gone.
