Whats the point if you cant install plugins

I have tried to install the plugin I sell photo which would greatly enhance my wordpress site but have found out that I can’t, even if I go premium. I would seriously now consider a more generic photography site when my .com runs out later this year on my other site

If those do not suit you then for plugin functionality you’d need a self-hosted site running on a paid web hosting service.
http://wordpress.ORG/hostingWordPress.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/ Get hosting here http://wordpress.org/hosting/
We provide support only for WordPress.COM hosted blogs. 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.
