Hi Andrew,
1. I have currently two WordPress blogs. Can upgrade Plan include both?
Plans upgrades are per blog. This means that you have to purchase two plans for both your blogs.
2. I have currently my own Domain name, can WordPress accept it? How?
Yes. You can either transfer it or map it here. Here’s how that works:

3. If my Domain name is accepted, can it branch to another website to include my above 2nd WordPress Blog
You cannot use one domain on multiple blogs. You can, however, redirect all traffic from your second blog to your domain. If you let me know more about what you’re trying to do, I’ll be able to better assist you.
4. Which plan should I go for if I intent to sell Video Tutorial, with payment receipt facilities, hosting of videos with password, etc etc. Meaning does it have similar platform like Udemy?
I think the best plan for your needs is the Business plan. It looks like you’ll need a couple of plugins to achieve what you’re describing and plugins are only available on the Business plan.
If you have any other questions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help.

Thank you so much for your good clarification.
I am seriously considering to upgrade, and I need a few more clarifications.
1. Can I start with Personal plan, until I learn how to set up with using plugins etc. as I am freshie in all these IT Greek.
2. Can you show me an example of Business Plan by your client with most of the features I mentioned about, eg. video tutorial sale, payment method etc.etc.
3. I also need a paid subscription discussion forum for members, especially with students to attended the video tutorial. How can this be done?
4. Can some of the blog pages be in Chinese language?
5. What info / data required from my current hosting service provider who also manages my Domain account. so that I can pass the info to WordPress?
6. After my Domain name is transferred to WordPress, do I need to pay anymore yearly subscription fee to Doman-name provider, or WordPress absorbs it in the Plan fee?
Once again, appreciate very much your guidance.

1. You’re welcome to start with the plan you’d like and upgrade as you go. Personally, I’d recommend starting with Premium, though, as it will give you access to all of our premium themes and some design features that you may want.
2. Great question… we don’t have a way of searching through our users sites for those specific features. But if we spot one like that we can let you know, and I will file a request to set up some sort of showcase.
3. You will need a plugin for this and your paid video tutorials feature. If you can find one that offers both features, perfect. I’ve heard of people using the WooCommerce Memberships plugin integrated with bbpress for this.
4. No problem. If you want to set up a fully multilingual site, we have some tips here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/set-up-a-multilingual-blog/
5. If you are transferring the domain, here’s how to prepare for that:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/prepare-domain-for-transfer/I did want to rephrase one statement: while you can’t use one domain on multiple sites, you can use a subdomain (like shop or cn or tutorials instead of www, for example) on a second site.
