I wanted to go beyond that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of relying on marketing material, I created a brand-new <a  class=\"btl_autolink_hyperlink\"  href=\"https:\/\/fspirits.com\/go\/wordpressai\/\"   >WordPress.com<\/a> website, upgraded it to the Personal plan, explored every section of the platform, reviewed the available plans, tested the <a  class=\"btl_autolink_hyperlink\"  href=\"https:\/\/fspirits.com\/go\/envato-wp-unlimited-thems\/\"   >themes<\/a> marketplace, examined the <a  class=\"btl_autolink_hyperlink\"  href=\"https:\/\/fspirits.com\/go\/envato-wp-unlimited-thems\/\"   >plugin<\/a> options, and documented my findings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This review is based entirely on my own experience using the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/automattic.pxf.io\/aN5mJY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fspirits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2026-06-05-10_03_22-.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12164\" title=\"\"><\/a><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"WordPress.com Review 2026: Pricing, Plans &amp; Real Hands-On Experience #WordPress #WebDesign\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wNW_w0uq3ZU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creating My Test Website<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting started was surprisingly simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After creating my account, <a  class=\"btl_autolink_hyperlink\"  href=\"https:\/\/fspirits.com\/go\/wordpressai\/\"   >WordPress.com<\/a> guided me through the process of creating a new website. Within minutes, I had a working website online and accessible through a <a  class=\"btl_autolink_hyperlink\"  href=\"https:\/\/fspirits.com\/go\/wordpressai\/\"   >WordPress.com<\/a> subdomain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thing that stood out immediately was how beginner-friendly the setup process felt. Unlike self-hosted WordPress installations where users need to purchase <a  class=\"btl_autolink_hyperlink\"  href=\"https:\/\/fspirits.com\/go\/freakinghosting\/\"   >l'h\u00e9bergement<\/a>, configure DNS, install WordPress, and handle security updates, <a  class=\"btl_autolink_hyperlink\"  href=\"https:\/\/fspirits.com\/go\/wordpressai\/\"   >WordPress.com<\/a> removes most of that complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fspirits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2026-06-05-09_36_46-.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12162\" title=\"\"><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The platform provides a step-by-step onboarding experience designed to help new users launch quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For beginners, this is a significant advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comprendre la <a  class=\"btl_autolink_hyperlink\"  href=\"https:\/\/fspirits.com\/go\/wordpressai\/\"   >WordPress.com<\/a> Plans<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the first things I wanted to investigate was pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a  class=\"btl_autolink_hyperlink\"  href=\"https:\/\/fspirits.com\/go\/wordpressai\/\"   >WordPress.com<\/a> currently offers six plans:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Free<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Personal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Premium<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Business<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Commerce<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enterprise<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I spent time reviewing each package and comparing the available billing options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fspirits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2026-06-05-09_41_59-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12165\" title=\"\"><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Free Plan<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Free plan allows anyone to start a website without spending money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Included features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a  class=\"btl_autolink_hyperlink\"  href=\"https:\/\/fspirits.com\/go\/wordpressai\/\"

important limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest drawback I noticed is that <a  class=\"btl_autolink_hyperlink\"  href=\"https:\/\/fspirits.com\/go\/wordpressai\/\"   >WordPress.com<\/a> displays advertisements to your visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For hobby projects, this may not matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For businesses, personal brands, coaches, consultants, or professional bloggers, these ads can make a website appear less professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fspirits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/2026-06-05-09_44_52-.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12166\" title=\"\"><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My verdict:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Free plan is useful for testing the platform, but serious users will likely want to upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Personal Plan<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I upgraded to the Personal plan during my testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What I found interesting was the significant discount offered for longer billing periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monthly:<br>$9\/month<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Annual:<br>$4\/month<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additional discounts are available for longer commitments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Personal plan includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Custom domain support<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ad-free website<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increased storage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access to premium

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Premium plan targets content creators who want more design flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\"

href=\"https:\/\/fspirits.com\/go\/envato-wp-unlimited-thems\/\"   >themes<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Additional customization<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monetization options<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This plan is ideal for creators who want a more polished website without hiring a developer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Business Plan<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">C'est ici que <a  class=\"btl_autolink_hyperlink\"  href=\"https:\/\/fspirits.com\/go\/wordpressai\/\"   >WordPress.com<\/a> becomes significantly more powerful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Business plan features include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a  class=\"btl_autolink_hyperlink\"  href=\"https:\/\/fspirits.com\/go\/envato-wp-unlimited-thems\/\"   >Plugin<\/a> installation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SFTP access<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SSH access<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>GitHub deployments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Real-time backups<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a developer, this was the first plan that started feeling closer to a traditional self-hosted WordPress setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Commerce Plan<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Commerce plan is designed for ecommerce businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Features include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>WooCommerce support<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ecommerce tools<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Store functionality<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Premium support<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This package is clearly aimed at businesses selling products or services online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exploring the Dashboard<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After upgrading, I spent time exploring every area of the dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The interface is modern, clean, and easy to navigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\"

>l'h\u00e9bergement<\/a> control panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sites Management<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Sites section provides an overview of your
