  Hello,
  I am using the free version of WordPress and I want to use my own domain for my website. What is the best option for me: To upgrade my WordPress to Pro for $99/year or to Download the WordPress Version 3.5.1 and to use hosting?
  Furthermore, If I choose to upgrade to pro could I edit the code of my page and use plugins?

  Thank you!

  If you want to edit the code of your page, and use plugins, wrodpress.ORG is the best way to go, since no matter what upgrade you use, you cannot use plugins or edit the code (you can get some plugins with the VIP wordpress hosting, but since that costs a few hundred dollars a month, I don’t think you’re interested in that: http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/).

  If there are specific plugins you are interested in, there is usually a widget or work-around to suit.

  Since you said you want to use your own domain, you don’t even need to upgrade to Pro, you can just pay $18 a year for a domain with WordPress: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  Hello

  If I’ll take a domain with WordPress I”ll take an email too?
  For example if the domain is test.com WordPress gives me the opportunity to have an email for ex. (email visible only to moderators and staff)????

  Thank you!
