Upgrade option of 17 for one year

    It ask me that it will give me .com site rather than wordpress.com. But can I place Ads and install plugins? What else is included?

    The blog I need help with is hammadk.wordpress.com.

    No Ads - No Plugins - Just a different name.

    There are no upgrades that change the fact that a free hosted WordPress.com blog is still subject to the same limitations and restrictions. When you purcahse a domain and domain mapping that's what you get and nothing more than that.
    See here: Important Notes Before Upgrading

    If you require FTP access and plugins and advertising then you need to hire a web hoste and set up a self hosted WordPress.ORG install.
    See here for all the differences: WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    wordpress.org is the way to go
