WordPress.com Plans
All WordPress.com sites are packed with awesome features including best-in-class hosting, Jetpack essential features to speed up your site performance and protect it from spammers, and a pre-installed SSL certificate ensuring privacy and safety. If you would like to take your site to the next level, we suggest exploring our upgraded plan options.
We currently offer four plans: Personal, Premium, Business, and eCommerce; each is tailored to your needs. A plan applies to one site only. On this page, we highlight the most important features you’ll get from each upgraded plan.
📌
If you’re upgrading from one plan to another, you will only pay the difference in price based on how much time is left with your existing subscription. This will show as pro-rated credits on the plan page.
WordPress.com Personal
With the Personal plan, in addition to receiving best-in-class hosting, Jetpack essential features, and a pre-installed SSL certificate, you can:
- Personalize your website with a custom domain name. Registering a custom domain is free for one year with annual or two-year plans
- Remove all WordPress.com advertising
- Enjoy 6 GB of storage space
- Get access to high-quality email support with our Happiness Engineers
- Upload audio files
Custom Domain
All of our annual and two-year plans come with a custom registered domain for the first year and we currently offer a wide variety of TLDs (top level domains, sometimes referred to as extensions). Having a paid plan on your site allows you to set your custom domain as your primary domain.
If the TLD you are looking for is not available or if you already own a domain with another registrar, you can connect it to your WordPress.com site.
Learn more about registering a domain.
Storage
If your site has a lot of media files like pictures and documents, you may reach a point where your media library gets full. Fear not! The Personal plan comes with 6 GB of storage. That’s double the storage compared to the free plan!

No Ads
Don’t want those ads to appear on your site? With the Personal plan, ads you and your visitors may see on your posts will disappear.

WordPress.com Premium
With the Premium plan, in addition to all of the great features included in the Personal plan plus best-in-class hosting, Jetpack essential features, and pre-installed SSL certificate you get:

Site Customization
Another advantage of the Premium plan is custom design. With the Premium plan, you’ll get the ability to edit your site’s style directly using CSS code. Color, size, location: with CSS you’ll be able to control the appearance of any HTML elements on your site.
Learn more about advanced customization on your WordPress.com site and how we can help with writing code.
Monetization
Did you know your site can help you earn money? WordPress.com sites come with ads that you can disable if you have any of our paid plans. With the Premium and higher plans, however, you can keep the ads and make money out of them using WordAds, our advertising platform.

WordPress.com Business
With the Business plan, in addition to all of the great features included in the Premium plan plus best-in-class hosting, Jetpack essential features, and pre-installed SSL certificate, you will enjoy:
- 200 GB of storage
- The ability to use third-party services, such as plugins, themes, codes, and ad networks like Google AdSense
- SEO tools
- Live chat support seven days a week with the annual or two-year plan
Video Storage
On the WordPress.com Premium plan, your videos count against your storage allotment of 13 GB. On Business or eCommerce plans with plugins installed, videos do not count against your storage allotment.
Plugins
WordPress.com Business sites are packed with awesome features, for SEO, social media and more. Sometimes though, you’ll want to use an external service that’s not built into our platform. For that, you can install plugins from the WordPress.org repository or upload custom plugins you’ve found elsewhere.

Themes
WordPress.com has a large collection of themes. Can’t find a layout that would work for your site? With the WordPress.com Business plan, you can install a theme that comes from a third-party author at no extra cost.
