  Good Morning –

  my domain already hosted on another webhost

  You can use this domain at WordPress.com via domain mapping.

  email (mx record) configured to another email host

  The email can be added by following these instructions.

  several subdomain pointing to sub folder on my older webhost

  Can you give me an example of the site URL and subdomain URLs?

  With WordPress.com you’ll need to use a theme from our Theme Showcase. Due to the nature of our shared environment we do not allow for the installation third party themes.
