  We’re going to upgrade, but we have a question about a plug-in we want to use. Can we use the one at the bottom from this WordPress site? http://labs.hahncreativegroup.com/

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

  Hello!

  What you are going to want to look for is a self-host through WordPress.ORG and not .COM.

  Here is an easy to read breakdown of the differences between the two.

  Here is an easy on for the question of ‘Do I Need to Self-Host?’

  WordPress.COM is really great and comes with all of the plugins you would need to run a fantastic blog/website off of but when it comes to third party plug-ins this is where you want to start to look into a self-host. However, even with the third party WordPress.ORG hosting you can easily find the great plug-ins that WordPress.COM would offer. Seeing how WordPress created by Automattic, I would suggest to seek those out for seamless functionality!

  Hope this helps!

  The purchase of a premium plan will give us the .org domain address?
