    Hello

    I see that if you have a hosting from another you can download plugins and use them in WordPress. How can i not use any in wordpress itself without upgrading the plan.

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

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

    Hi there!

    Using WordPress on another provider is different from hosting the site with us at WordPress.com. On other hosts, you are using what’s called a self-hosted WordPress.org site. While you do get the ability to install plugins without any specific plans with other hosts, you are also responsible for the software security/update and related maintenance.

    The hosting plan you purchase with another host may also not include some advanced features that you get with us at WordPress.com (such as real-time automatic backups, SFTP, SSH access, and so on).

    I highly recommend checking out the following page that explains the key differences between a self-hosted WordPress.org site and a WordPress.com site: WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org.

    With the WordPress.com Business plan, you get all the advanced hosting features with the ability to install plugins and third-party themes. We also include many features on lower plans that you can access without necessarily needing to install a plugin.

    I’d also like to take this opportunity to learn more about the site you’d like to create. Would you mind telling us more about your site? What’s the site for, and what features do you need on the site? Based on your site requirements, we’ll be happy to share specific guides and suggestions and help you accordingly.
