  hello
  I am just building my website on wordpress and want to find out what is the best way to host it. I currently am hosted by host papa and it seems there is a word press option there. It seems if I understand that I pay $12 per domain to point them and then also per additional one. But it seems that with this domain mapping I can’t install add ons which are very important it seems to get full use of facilities

  what is best way to proceed so I can map domain to new site and be able to use the add ons.

  Many thanks

  Steve

  You’ll need to install WordPress from http://wordpress.org/ on your hosting provider.

  Once that’s done, you can move your content following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org

  Domain mapping isn’t necessary, as you’ll be hosted through them, not us.

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.
  http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  WordPress.org has complete support and documentation sites for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress at:
  http://wordpress.org/support/
  http://codex.wordpress.org/

  We do offer yearly and one-time premium support packages for self-hosted WordPress sites through our VIP program, available at http://vip.wordpress.com
