Can you use plugins with Wordpress.com

I currently have a blog through wordpress.com with a paid domain and wondered is it possible to install plugins as I can't see the option for it but have heard that wordpress has plugins?

Thanks in advance,
Max

 

You cannot install plugins on or wordpress.com blog, you can activate only 'official' plugins that are maintained by the WP team. This restriction exists because plugins generally may contain security bugs/backdoors.

You can install plugins if you download WordPress from http://wordpress.org and host it yourself.

 

Ok ok thanks, are there any major bonuses to using plugins?

 

With plugins you can customize almost everything.

Q: Can you use plugins with Wordpress.com?

A: NO.

 

yes with our hosting service you can install plugin that we offer you what paid wordpress offer but for free ,no hidden fee and you can try it with no risk

 

Plugins are AWESOME! From social media, bookmark and sharing, video blogging, customization, contact forms with refferer information and more. Plugins allow you to customize your website for what features you need. If you have outgrown your current "free" wordpress website and need hosting so you can use these features then your site has reached "maturity". I wish you the best of luck!
