Questions on Blog Development
-
I am curious about a few things as I move forward with my blog.
1) If I buy a domain through WordPress for this blog, can I transfer it to another hosting service later if I choose or does the domain stay with WordPress?
2) Is it possible for me to had ads on my blog that I generate?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

(1) Yes
(2) NoWordPress.com is a hosted blog service. You do not have to download software, pay for hosting or manage a web server. WordPress.com does not permit uploading themes or plugins. WordPress.org is free software. You can install themes and plugins, run ads, and edit the database. Check out our article on the differences.
