  No. Not with WordPress.com.
  You’ll need to find and pay a host, pay for a domain name, use free WordPress.ORG software to make it work. There are plugins and themes which you can use there which will make your plan work.

  Here are details about the different kinds of WordPress:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Is there any particular plugins and themes that can do this? Is there any ones you can recommend?

  We cannot use plugins on WordPress.com and the only themes we can use are adapted for our unique platform.

  Please read the link I gave you earlier about the different kinds of WordPress.

  What you need is to be found over at WordPress.ORG. We volunteers here on WordPress.COM cannot help with that.
