  Hello,

  Can I use plugins on wordpress.com? If not, do you recommend a host who will host my blog safely and securely and allow me to run plugins please? I understand BlueHost has a good reputation, but there are plenty of horror stories about some of your recommended host as well!

  Thanks,

  Charlie

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

  Plugins can be used for self-hosted blogs only, Here in wordpress.com, No one can use plugins.

  Read about the differences between .org and .com: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Here are the integrated plugins in WP.com blogs: http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  Thank you. How about the second half of my question:

  I understand BlueHost has a good reputation, but there are plenty of horror stories about some of your recommended hosts as well!

  Does anybody have a really great story to tell about their hosting solution? What are you using today?

  By definition everyone here has chosen WordPress.COM as a host so we don’t pay much attention to other hosts, you might try asking at WordPress.ORG or WP Tavern –
