   You cannot use FTP with WordPress’s free blog hosting.
   Information on how to upload things and alternatives are available at the wordpress site:

   You need to pay for it. Free blog hosts don’t offer such a feature.

   As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website/weblog. If you are going to create your blog website: 1- Buy a domain name. A domain name is a name you want to call your website (ex: http://www.yahoo.com). To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your blog online at your purchased domain name.

   If you’re going to start your blog at your own domain with different pages, you need a web host providing wordpress.

   Take a look at:

   There you can reach the three reputable companies that are leaders in the blog/wordpress website hosting industry.

   If you use the free WordPress blog from http://www.wordpress.com you are limited in stuff you can do with it. You can’t upload themes to it.

   Pros: Free
   Cons: They provide 70+ themes, but you cannot run a custom theme
   You can’t change the PHP code behind your blog. You can’t upload plugins. You don’t get a real domain name just an address like yourwebsite.wordpress.com unless you pay extra.
