from when does wordpress has creator plan that charges money to build website.
was it from the beginning or it was introduced recently?
The creator plan was previously called the business plan and has been around since 2017ish.
I’m sure the creator plan doesn’t charge you to edit any templates, indeed none of the plans do. Editing **styles** requires the Explorer plan and above though.
What templates are you trying to edit? What are you seeing exactly?
wordpress is freeeeee
[WordPress.com](http://WordPress.com) is a managed WordPress host. They have various plans at various price points. Each of those plans offers different features. Like with most businesses, the more things you need, the more you pay.
There are some awesome advantages to going with a managed WordPress host, especially if you are a beginner with WordPress. They take care of backups/security/updates/etc. I can’t tell you how many people post here about a hacked or crashed website who would have been saved if they’d used managed hosting. They’d have a backup of their site and a support team to help them sort it out.
That said, in terms of pure $, managed hosting is more expensive than basic shared hosting from Knownhost, Hostgator, etc. You have to decide what your budget is and what your time is worth.
