Personal plan. After the prepaid term the renewal price applies, whatever term you renew for. Green marks the lowest three-year total.
How to pay less
- The intro price needs a 36-month prepayment. A longer term keeps the low price longer, but you pay it all upfront.
- WordPress.com gives 14 days to get your money back. Test the site in that window before you commit to years.
