pricing/ functionality enquiry.

    I have bought a domain with Ionos and I’m thinking of using a template from your website builder (£3 monthly package)

    I’m not sure where costs may be incurred – is it just in the transfer fees of 8% and annual billing of £36
    or would there be any other one or or ongoing costs associated with the website either now or in the long term?

    I understand that the first year of the domain would be free, but after that what would the cost be?

    Functionality:
    I would need to connect my existing domain name
    I’d need to edit the template, colours, fonts, logo, images
    I’d like to be able to take payments through the site but these would be in very low numbers and low value.

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

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

    Hi there,

    Firstly, let me clear up any concerns about the transfer fees. There are no transfer fees involved when you are transferring or connecting your domain to your WordPress.com site. When you upgrade to one of our plans, you will be able to transfer or connect your existing domain absolutely for free. Plus, upon successful transfer of your domain, we will automatically renew it for an additional year at no extra cost to you.

    After the first year, your domain will need to be renewed separately from your plan. The cost for this renewal varies based on the specific domain extension (TLD) that you have. You can find a detailed list of the domain extension prices on our support page here: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/domain-pricing-and-available-tlds/

    Regarding the customization of your site, with our Site Editor, you can fully personalize your website, tweaking it to be uniquely yours. You can edit the template, change colors, fonts, and many more. It’s designed to be user-friendly, but if you need any guidance, we have an extensive guide right here: https://wordpress.com/support/site-editor/

    And for taking payments through your site, we’ve got you covered as well. Our Payment features are designed to be simple and secure, allowing you to accept payments. This feature is perfect for selling products or services in low volumes. For more information about setting up and using Payments, check out our detailed guide here: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/payments/

    I hope this information helps clear up any concerns you had about costs and functionality. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any more questions or if there’s something specific you’d like assistance with.
