  I already have a domain name and I want to stay with that host. How do I still use WordPress?

  Hi tclaiborne2019,

  You can buy one of the paid plans of WordPress.com and map your existing domain here.

  But if you want to use your existing web hosting, you will be creating a self-hosted WordPress website.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different platforms. To understand more, please read this.
