  I have a wordpress hosted blog. I stress it is hosted by WordPress and I bought the URL from WordPress.

  Do the rules about no sponsored posts and advertising still apply if your site is hosted, as opposed to being a fully-fledged WordPress blog?

  I only ask because I am keen to start taking paid-for advertising.

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

  Yes, the same rules (terms of service) still apply. A domain name does not change where you are hosted; if you are hosted on wordpress.com then the terms of service still apply.

  Domains

  Conclusion: sponsored posts / advertising means you would need to go to wordpress.org and find a host.
