  I am trying to put my website available. I’ve done some research but I don’t understand if the premium plan already has an host handled by wordpress or if I need to pay to an external host, such as bluehost or hostgator.
  I have purchased the wordpress premium plan and the domain I want.
  Can I use the domain registered with wordpress in any host? How can I connect a host to the wordpress domain?

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

  If you are blogging on WordPress.com they are hosting it for you no matter the plan you purchase from WordPress.com (they host them). If you already have a domain name purchased somewhere else then you will want to Map your WordPress.com blog to that site name. You might want to try this support page for some assistance: https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  Hope that helps!

  My problem is when I try to access the domain that I own in word press a error appears:
  404. That’s an error.
  The requested URL / was not found on this server.
  Thank you!
