  Hi! Would you explain in as few as words as possible :) why I need Bluehost, or other server host, together with Word Press? If I register domain with WordPress, is WordPress not hosting my website–can I get email addresses, all pages use my domain name and not with the WordPress.com attachment? I’m trying to understand the difference between WordPress host and BlueHost hosting. Thanks so much.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi,

  Please refer to the following support page if you want to understand the difference between WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you stay on WordPress.COM and you want to get rid of the wordpress.com part of your blog address, then you need to upgrade to a Custom Domain: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  Happy blogging!

  Concerning the email address, you can either choose full email hosting or email forwarding.

  Hi there, I think I get the difference between wordpres.com and wordpess.org

  I’m trying to understand why wordpress is marketing a partnership with bluehost for hosting services when I can get hosting with wordpress–for less money. what is bluehost offering that word press is not?

  When I register domain with WordPress, are all the pages on my wordpress blog using my registered domain name without the wordpress in the address, or is it only on the home page?

  If you register a domain name with WordPress.COM, all pages are going to appear with that domain, not only the home page: https://en.support.wordpress.com/register-domain/
