Upgrading of my blog to 1) Premium 2) Enabling advertising

  • Unknown's avatar

    Good day,
    I have used WordPress Free for the past 7 years. Recently I have changed my layout and it was found to be much more userfriendly. I now wish to ask the following questions:
    1) I would like to use a plug in to create either a constantly moving banner to show adverts / commercials or else have that option in drop down format.
    2) Will a basic upgrade at 4 Euros a month do or do I need to purchase the Business Upgrade at nearly 25 Euros a month?
    3) Will the upgrade give me a dedicated web page name, i.e. ATC News.Blog or other and email access for that site?
    Once I have upgraded, how do I proceed, download a Plug In (I have seen Meta Slider for instance would give me 16 commercial spaces) or are other steps / cost required?

    Many thanks for your response.
    Wolfgang

    Hi there!

    Plugins can only be used on WordPress.com as part of the Business Plan. Once upgraded, you can install almost any plugin available except for a very small list of plugins that can cause problems with the maintenance of your site.
    The Business plan’ features include a custom domain name, unlimited storage space, unlimited premium themes, CSS customization among many other features. Upgrading to the Business plans gives you automatic access to the WordAds program and the possibility to set up advertising on your sites immediately. To learn more, please have a look at the relevant support page about it:

    And this is the relevant support guide about adding plugins with the Business plan:

    Hope this helps!
