  Hi. I want to create a website for knowledge sharing and e-commerce purpose (selling services). I am still undecided about the domain service provider and domain extension. I am tempted to use Fitpro’s service as a starting point but I am concerned about the flexibility of integration of a Fitpro website into the domain service provider and extension which I finally choose.
  Also, how would you integrate your wordpress blog (free version) into Fitpro or any other website?

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

  There is no secure payments system here at wordpress.COM, and you cannot add a shopping cart to create an online store to any sites hosted by wordpress.COM, regardless of upgrades, but creative cost-free workarounds have been developed and shared.

  Provided you are selling only what you yourself make or a providing service that you personally provide on a wordpress.COM site, or you are asking for donations you have two options.

  (1) PayPal – Know that the only instructions that will work for posting a PayPal donation button on a WordPress.com blog are found here http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/
  Note that the PayPal email link is not supported and PayPal customization options are not supported either https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/paypal-button-41?replies=12#post-2517229 This is not likely to be changed any time soon, if at all.

  Some bloggers create a contact form https://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/ on a page and after the people have made a PayPal donation they provide the link to a private page for downloading files. Maybe that will work for you.

  (2) If you set up an eCommerce site somewhere else online you can create a custom menu http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/ and include a custom link to that site in it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-custom-links

  If what I provided above at (1) and (2) do not suit you, then this guide will explain how to move your WordPress.com site to another hosting platform: Moving to Self-Hosted WordPress where you can set up a secure payment system http://move.wordpress.com
