Using WP if you have your own domain and server
-
Hello,
I currently have my own domain and my own server. Can I use a WP theme on my own server?
I would like to create a site using this theme http://seocompany.catalog.c1.us-e1.nexusthemes.com/. My questions are do I have to use WP hosting in order to use this theme? Can I buy this theme directly from WP instead of this company above? If I have to use WP hosting etc how do I upgrade and add this theme etc?

Yes
Can I buy this theme directly from WP instead of this company above? If I have to use WP hosting etc how do I upgrade and add this theme etc?
We can’t help with that. There is no upgrade at wordpress.COm that allows us to use any theme that’s not found here https://wordpress.com/themes/

We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
(1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
(2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.Also, note that we do not provide Jetpack support https://jetpack.me/support/ for sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.
Some Jetpack solutions are here http://jetpack.me/support/
Others are in the Jetpack support forum at WordPress.org
http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpackHowever, if help cannot be found at either one then they can file a Jetpack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service
WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
As you are referring to a site that is not hosted here, if you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right-hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page

Hi Ok,
Can you refer me to a page that has an seo company type theme? I have my own domain and am willing to use WP server. Can you advise as to how to do this?

There aren’t any such themes here at wordpress.COM and we do not provide wordpress.ORG support.

Dear @localexperts123 you can certainly use WordPress with a theme of your choice on your own server. That would be the Self-hosted type of WordPress also called as WordPress.org.
The support forum here are however only for sites hosted on WordPress.com.
You may visit WordPress.Org and the support forums there to get guided further on how to install and use WordPress on your own server

The ubiquitous off the top copy and paste SEO stuff that applies to wordpress.ORG sites does not apply to blogs on this wordpress.COM multiuser blogging platform as we don’t have metadata access.
WordPress.COM SEO resources that you will want to consult are:
