Which plan?
-
Should I keep my domain provider or change to WordPress? Why? I may want to monetize my blog later. If I start with the most inexpensive plan, it looks like I can’t do that. Can I upgrade later without losing any of my posts?

Hi there,
Your content won’t be affected in any way when you upgrade a WordPress.com site – all that does is enable the extra features included in the plan on a site. So you can start on the free plan and only upgrade later if you want. Or you can start with the Personal Plan and upgrade to a more expensive plan later should you need to.
You can monetize a site on the free plan if you want. You’ll just have fewer options available, e.g. you won’t be able to join our ads program on a free plan, and you won’t be able to accept payments via the Simple Payments button. But you’ll still be able to use affiliate links, for example:
Whether you transfer your domain to us or leave it at your current provider and just map it to us is completely up to your preference. In my opinion it would be more convenient to transfer to us, as then you’ll only pay us each year for both the domain and the plan. If you only map you’ll have to pay us for the plan, and someone else for the domain.
But many people prefer to keep the two separate as well.
