  Hello!

  It looks like you want to set up a blog using the WordPress.org software from the open source WordPress.org project hosted on a third party site from aruba. Here’s a little bit more on those differences:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  This forum is dedicated to support sites hosted on the WordPress.com service. Because of that, most of the support documents don’t apply to sites hosted on third-party services, and the forum isn’t equipped to field the broad array of questions that come up with WordPress.org sites.

  Your best bet to find out what is supported is to contact support or sales at the host you are interested in using. They should be able to give you the best answer for what they support and which hosting packages might work best for what you’re trying to accomplish.

  Good luck with your new site!

  Yes, you can absolutely use WordPress.com to setup a site that’s hosted here by WordPress. I thought your question was asking if a specific host supported WordPress installs.

  There’s basically two types of WordPress blogs that are easily confused. There’s the sites hosted here and often referred to as WordPress.com and then there’s the open source software that you can install on third party hosting services. That software is generally referred to as WordPress.org

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  There are a lot of things you can do with a WordPress.com site, but it is basically set up as a blogging platform. But, keep in mind if you were to get setup with a third party host, anything you did over here on WordPress.com would be separate from that. Now, if you just want to setup your own domain name for your WordPress blog, you can do that right here without using a third party host. Have a look here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
