I strongly recommend to buy a web host if you need to build up a professional webpage or blog. It will be inconvenient for frequent users to visit your website if the loading is slow. I did not buy because I feel that it is unnecessary because my blog is just a personal blog that I use to share my knowledge, projects, etc.
The advantage of hosting wordpress instead of using wordpress.com is that you are able to install and use ANY free themes and plugins. I'm pretty sure there are many more advantages to host wordpress. Basically you have more control over your wordpress website. :)
Update: This blog is an imported from Wordpress. Why did I move from Wordpress to Blogger?
I have more control of my blog in Blogger than in Wordpress. I can insert, edit, modify javascripts, CSS in Blogger but not in Wordpress. If you have a web host, Wordpress is better. Their templates are much more standardized.
If you have hosted your wordpress and unsure to change themes and install plugins, here's how to do it.
To install and use wordpress plugins or themes...Anyway, Wordpress does not allow us to add a .tk domain. :( Wordpress only allows us to add .com, .me, .org or .net domains only unlike Blogger that supports almost all kinds of domains.
And you are done!
- All you have to do is to go to http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ or
http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/- Download your desirable plugins or themes zip files
- Next, go to your hosted wordpress and click plugins or themes available on the left
- You will be asked to upload a zip file
- Upload the zip file you downloaded earlier
I hope this post is helpful! I've done lots and lots of research to conclude all these. But I'm happy with my findings.
If you have any problems, or questions, don’t hesitate to post a comment. I will be willing to help. :D
