Web hosting for new WordPress website
-
Hi!
I already have a blog om WordPress and now I want to add a website for my small business. I have bought the domain for my business through a Norwegian company as I am from Norway. Installing WordPress through their system seems complicated.I have really enjoyed creating my blog and would like to do the website myself too. I don’t know coding but I have figured out the stuff I need on WordPress for my blog. I have the Premium plan fro my blog.
I am now confused about web hosting. For my blog I don’t have any hosting apart from WordPress itself, and I wonder what I will need for my website? Is hosting included in the WordPress plans described here? https://wordpress.com/start/plans
As I am already on a plan, why does it ask me to pick a plan again? Do I need to pay separately for the blog and the website?I also have not yet claimed my free domain that comes with my plan on the blog, can I use this for my website domain? Or will that change the domain of my blog? For now, I am happy to use the .wordpress.com domain for the blog.
Any other tips are also welcome!

Hi Nora,
I already have a blog om WordPress and now I want to add a website for my small business. I have bought the domain for my business through a Norwegian company as I am from Norway. Installing WordPress through their system seems complicated. I have really enjoyed creating my blog and would like to do the website myself too.

Yeah, you don’t have to worry about installations and coding with WordPress.com. If you have already purchased a Premium plan is should appear in your manage purchase section. The link will give you details of your purchase.I am now confused about web hosting. For my blog I don't have any hosting apart from WordPress itself, and I wonder what I will need for my website? Is hosting included in the WordPress plans described here? https://wordpress.com/start/plans As I am already on a plan, why does it ask me to pick a plan again? Do I need to pay separately for the blog and the website?The premium plan includes your hosting, there is a 13GB storage space available –– you can check the details here. As I mentioned above if you have already purchased the plan, it would appear in your manage purchase section. You need not repurchase any plan.
I also have not yet claimed my free domain that comes with my plan on the blog, can I use this for my website domain? Or will that change the domain of my blog? For now, I am happy to use the .wordpress.com domain for the blog.Every plan comes with a Domain credit –– you can either register a new domain or map an existing domain. As you have already purchased a domain, you can use that domain here by using the map your existing domain service. You cannot transfer the domain to WordPress.com. You can keep it with your current registrar and be able to use the domain here on WordPress.com.
You can begin with developing your site with a free domain like myamazingsite.wordpress.com and ones its ready just Map your domain with it.
Also note, you get access to Priority Email and Live Chat with your Premium account on at the contact link:
