  Hey there @rpm0017, well, we may be biased, but you’d be welcome to build your site here. What kind of site are you hoping to create?

  You’ll want to know WordPress comes in two “flavors” — free code, and managed hosting. We offer managed hosting. So that includes your SSL hosting, maintenance, security, direct support, and several other features depending on the plan you choose. You can read more about the options here:
  https://wordpress.com/pricing

  And, you can read more about WordPress (the code) vs WordPress.com (the service) in this article.

  If you want help getting started, we’ve got some tutorials (videos or steps) here that can walk you through setup of several different types of sites:

  Does that help? If not, send more details and we’ll go from there.
