  i understand that from my wordpress.com to wordpress.org site will cost me $18 per year for domain.
  1) is there a monthly cost for hosting the site apart from above domain charges?
  2) is there any hidden cost?
  3) while upgrading, i want to change my domain name. is it possible?
  4) Are features like tweet the lines, collecting e-mail address while downloading pdf files free?

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

  Hi @leenawriterblog, we require plans which include a domain (or mapping for an existing domain). This covers the cost of hosting as well. You can our pricing here:
  http://wordpress.com/plans

  All plans are billed yearly, and they include all features listed.

  You could potentially run into fees if you file chargebacks or allow your domains to stay expired too long, but both of those are easily avoided.

  We include publicize / sharing options:

  We don’t automatically collect anyone’s email address, however, you are welcome to set up form on your site to ask for emails, or set up a newsletter:
