Can [Wordpress.com](http://Wordpress.com) Premium or Business Plan sites be developed locally using Local by Flywheel or is it a tool only to develop hosted [Wordpress.org](http://Wordpress.org) installations?

Hi Ray,

Local is only meant for [WordPress.org](http://WordPress.org) sites like those hosted on [Flywheel](https://getflywheel.com).

Thanks, Clay. I thought so, but wanted to hear from the experts. Apparently, from what I’ve found out at [vip.wordpress.com](http://vip.wordpress.com) only their VIP plan supports a local development environment of some sort.
