Web Hosting necessary?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Do I need to have external web hosting for my wordpress website to be activated properly with my own domain name (which I’ve just bought)?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  • You do not. Your domain will merely replace your ____.wordpress.com domain.

    Let me know if you have any trouble.

    Thank you, I went ahead and sorted out the domain mapping, no trouble.

    Do you tackle questions on customisation of website?

    Can I purchase and add special themes through the normal wordpress.com (considerin I haven’t taken on the uploading of software to my own hardrive/wordpress.org thingy)…?

    Cheers Remi

  • Do you tackle questions on customisation of website?

    We can help with some of that. But it really depends on what you are asking.

    Can I purchase and add special themes through the normal wordpress.com (considerin I haven’t taken on the uploading of software to my own hardrive/wordpress.org thingy)…?

    On WordPress.com, you can select from a variety of themes to change your blog’s appearance. You can read more about customizing the appearance and theme of your blog on WordPress.com here:

    http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/

    We offer over 210 themes, both free themes and premium themes created by leading theme companies. You can view all of our themes and filter them by specific criteria here:

    http://theme.wordpress.com/

    You cannot, however purchase WordPress themes outside of WordPress.com and uploadthem to your WordPress.com site. The only themes that work with WordPress.com sites are the ones at http://theme.wordpress.com/.

    Please let me know if you have further questions or if anything is unclear.
