WordPress Bundle Related Question
-
Hello WordPress Customer Support Team:
I am thinking of upgrading my blog into a website and I have been considering the wordpress bundle as one of my options. And I have the following questions related to your offer:
1. How much bandwidth per month do you give? I only see the 10GB Storage Space.
2. If I go over my limits, what is your additional bandwidth rate offer? And the same question with the storage.
3. How often do you backup data? If I lose data how soon will you recover it? Does this even happen?
These may be trivial questions, but since I am not very familiar with them, I will really appreciate your feedback.
Sincerely,
EMK

I am thinking of upgrading my blog into a website
A blog is a website and I want you to be clear about that. WordPress.com blogs can be restructured to become page based websites or their conventional post based structure can be retained.
Better Blogging at WordPress.com: Pages and Posts > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/05/12/better-blogging-at-wordpress-com-pages-and-posts/We can create a custom menu and doing so does not require an upgrade of any kind whatsoever. Pages are static. They sit outside of the blog structure and you cannot post to multiple pages in any blog. There is only one main page for posts in a blog and all posts will show on the main blog page. There is no way to exclude posts from the main posts (blog) page.
What’s critical is:
(1) a clear comprehension of the differences between pages and posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
(2) a clear comprehension of the fact that there is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts and we cannot post to more than that one page. But we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page. We organize posts by assigning categories to them. You can either put the categories widget into the sidebar, or you can create a custom menu and add the categories into the custom menu.http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/

There are many common errors, misunderstanding and misconceptions when creating custom menus and you can read about them here > http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2011/12/19/custom-menus/
If you do not want all the posts to show on the main page, then you can create a static front page. If you choose to have astatic front page then you have to create two pages. One for the static front page which you can call anything you choose example “Welcome”, and one for the blog posts to appear on which you can call anything you choose example “Blog”. After your do that you go here . Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/

WordPress.com is a hosted blog service. You do not have to download software, pay for hosting or manage a web server. WordPress.com does not permit uploading themes or plugins. WordPress.org is free software. You can install themes and plugins, run ads, and edit the database. Please read this carefully as there is no upgrade you can purchase from WordPress.com that changes what is stated here >
http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/Upgrades can be purchased individually or in a bundle for WordPress.com free hosted blogs. The details are found in support documentation:

This is helpful. Thank you!
And sorry about my blog/website blunder. :) Good thing is that you’ve figured out what I meant to say.
Cheers,
