Setting up website
-
I wanted to set up a wordpress website. I have not used word press before. I have a square space site at the moment. I like the idea of moving over to word press though. I seemed to have signed up for a site. I wanted the business package as I will need all those features. Will have have to pay to get access to at the templates in the business package or can I get access to them for a trial or do you build it then pay when I want the site to go live?
Cheers

Hi Seb,
With the Business plan, you get all the premium themes. You can try any theme you want. You can learn more about themes at https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/.
Learn more about the Business plan at https://wordpress.com/pricing/. Also, here is a tutorial for you to get started with WordPress https://learn.wordpress.com/.
Let me know if that helps!

Hello @apeoplesproject!
WordPress.com provides free blogs and hosts them free of charge. There are no bandwidth charges. All WordPress.com blogs come with 3000 megabytes (~3 GBs) of space for storing uploaded files and images. Free features are listed here https://en.wordpress.com/features/
We have different plans: free, personal, premium and business. All hosting is free regardless of which plan you choose. You can view all wp plan features here https://wordpress.com/pricing/ Add a plan for your site here: http://store.wordpress.com/plans/.
There are no monthly payment plans and no bulk deal upgrades. We are billed annually. We must pay for all upgrades in full at the time of purchase.
Make sure you read the comparison very closely do you know exactly what the restrictions and limitations on WordPress.COM blogging are: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

WordPress.com does not provide an email service for blogs on their sub domains or on custom domains. Please see these support docs

https://en.support.wordpress.com/email-forwarding/What domain mapping does is providing a seamless redirect to the very same content under the new domain URL when a person clicks the old URL to the original content. It can take up to 72 hours for domain propagation to take place throughout the internet but it doesn’t usually take that long. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
