  Hi donivanda

  WordPress.org and WordPress.com are two different platform. For more information on both the platform please refer to the link below: https://wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you want to use WordPress.org platform then you need to buy a web hosting from any other hosting provider. But if you want to use WordPress.com platform then you need any of the WordPress.com plans. Here is the link to the WordPress.com plans page:
  https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  Let me know if you need any other help.

  Hope this helps.

  Thank you shubhamgmath for your answer.

  To use some plugins like Elementor and others, I need to buy Bussines Plan on WordPress. So you are telling me that if I use some web hosting service (example from my country) and I connect that domain with WordPress, I will be able to add plugins (Elementor), have access to many themes and etc. WITHOUT having to buy Bussiness plan?

  @donivanda

  Please make it clear that there are two platforms you will be using one for your site.

  To use some plugins like Elementor and others, I need to buy Bussines Plan on WordPress.

  – You will be using WordPress.com then you must need to buy a business plan for using custom plugins and themes.

  So you are telling me that if I use some web hosting service (example from my country) and I connect that domain with WordPress, I will be able to add plugins (Elementor), have access to many themes and etc. WITHOUT having to buy Bussiness plan?

  – If you will be using WordPress.org platform means you will be not using WordPress.com hosting you will be using any third party hosting where you will be installing wordpress and then create your site on that with the domain of your choice.

  Domain can be from any registrar (wordpress.com or any other provider) you can use it on both platforms (by transfering it to your hosting provider or mapping your domain with your site).

  If you still have any doubts let me know.

  Hope this helps.

  Yes I will be using WordPress.org. Some third party hosting from my country (Croatia). I will rent web hosting service with domain and connect it with WordPress, acctually I will install it via WordPress instaler. After that I need to download any plugin I want and just transfer it on my website with FTP?
