    Hello there.

    I am aware of costs *and some Vietnamese sommelier of*, I would seek for an advice.
    1. I wish to self-host a site without-losing-a-WordPress.com domain which was awarded for registering with a Free Account, as long as I keep a WordPress account
    This probably give some flexiblity and ease of use for a mix of free subdomain and a self-hosted site, accepting direct Napas and Vietnamese payment methods + other else.
    For valid example: you run a self-hosted WordPress site on username.wordpress.com; whilist you had to still deal with the technicals [such as a hot Xpenology or fatal errors on a Dell PowerEdge at home,] the WordPress.com will just had to donate all cost of a free username.wordpress.com for you as just like those who’s awarded for just starting with free plan.
    As long, as you check-in with WordPress.com using a Free Plan and a Free Account.
    1. You do not get mandated to buy a domain of anything that don’t start with *.wordpress.com, no need for a domain.com or blabla… and it’s both free + lesser complexity.
    2. Plus you don’t have to fare a platform that don’t support monetization from Vietnam [Stripe is a certain: they do not support any of such a VND or Vietnamese bussiness as they don’t know anything about that lil’ tax in Vietnam.]
    3. And lastly, Jetpack offering by WP.com, and easier management from near to everywhere [use both WP.com dashboard and a self-hosted WP dashboard at once, like managing WordPress akimbo.] Carry a self-hosted WP like carrying WordPress.com, and vice versa.
    Borrowing a subdomain from someone is a starter-friendly self-hosting method, so can I do it, or does I need a domain on my own or do I get awarded a free *.wordpress.org subdomain?

    2. Can I register a domain that exactly a *.wordpress.com for free or it is exclusive to new sites built by WordPress.com, or if it’s paid to register that domain? E.g., registering [anothersubdomain].wordpress.com just to subsitude [initialusername].wordpress.com domains.

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

    Hello there.
    Very sorry for any typos, but due to many reasons, unable to edit. There were forgotten subnumbering. For example, I start one Q with a 1. but there’s another 1 for other sub-topics. It must be 1.1, 1.2, 1.3., ….

    Hello!

    In order to utilize a “*.wordpress.com” domain, your website must be hosted here at WordPress.com.

    Are you seeking a specific feature or functionality for your website that isn’t currently available on WordPress.com? If you can share more details about your requirements, we can explore potential solutions that would allow you to continue hosting your website here.

    Thank you!
