  Hello,
  I am looking to host a website for http://www.spark.energy.com and I need to create a hosting page for now. Is there anyone to help me get started to do this?

  Thanks,

  Hi there,

  Can you please give some more details on what exactly you want to do? I’m not clear on what you’re asking.

  Hey Kokkieh,

  I am completely new to WordPress and I need to design and set up a website. I am currently stuck in knowing how to design and make it look as it should. Do you need to have a business account to do this?

  Thanks,

  Hi there,

  Do you already have a hosting plan somewhere else, or are you looking at hosting your sites with us (WordPress.com). Do better understand the differences between WordPress.com and the open-source WordPress software you can read this article:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Hey,

  We have bought the domain name but it is currently not being hosted anywhere. The idea is that I want to host a super basic website (homepage, about us, contact us) with limited copy and images. I have currently mocked up with a theme however I can’t see to amend colours of CTAs etc.

  Do I need the Business plan to do this?

  Thanks,

  You do not need Business plan to create a basic site with a custom domain – plan Personal or Premium would be enough.
  The advantage of plan Business is that you’re able to add plugins and third-party themes so you may want to upgrade if you’re looking for some more advanced features or customizations.

  Here you can read more about all of our plans:
