A plan to buy

Hello.

I want to create a professional website for my career portfolio. I currently have a domain name of “websitename.wordpress.com” and I want to make it as “websitename.com” to look more professional.

I have gone down the rabbit hole.

Where should I buy my plan, is wordpress premium plan ok to buy or should I go with buying a plan in hostinger?

My priority is I want to monetize my website with ads. Either Google Site Kit or WordAds.

I also want to customize and add plugins. In wordpress, only a business plan can allow you to add plugins. Can I add plugins when I buy a plan at Hostinger?

Thank you for your answers

  1. You simply need to buy the domain and host it somewhere. Godaddy or HostGator or any host of options can sell you websitename.com. You currently have a subdomain at WordPress.com.

    I can’t speak to the specifics of whatever transition you’ll need, many offer migration help as well. Good luck. Being a subdomain of someone else when building a brand isn’t a good place to start. Move away from that ASAP if you want real control.

  2. If this is your first website, perhaps sticking with WordPress .com is best for now. So often newbies (and we were all newbies at one time) make major mistakes on a self hosted plan. If this is your professional website for your portfolio (your career depends on it), I know it is pricy but stick with WordPress .com.
