  Hello,

  I am creating a new website with WordPress. I want to sign up for the $99 Premium package and I have found a theme I like @ http://themeforest.net/item/expo18-responsive-event-conference-landing-page/1356398

  Can you tell me if I will be able to use this theme with the Premium package?

  And I would like to find out if I need an external web host for this site. We already have a main website that has Cloud hosting which is why I can’t set up this second (conference) website through our existing hot set-up.

  Therefore, I don’t need email accounts specific to the conference domain name. I really just need to know that the site can run on WordPress’s server…

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

  You can not run outside third party themes on WordPress.COM, with or without the $ 99.- package. You are limited to the about 220 themes from WordPress.COM, the themes here are highly modified to run here for security and reliability reasons

  Thanks. I think I have found the WordPress version of Expo 18: http://themeforest.net/item/expo18-responsive-event-conference-wordpress-theme/2680170
  Figure this is ok for a WordPress site?
