Do I need a hosting site to use WordPress?

Hi there,
It depends.
If you want to use the open source version of WordPress, made by the community on WordPress.org, then yes, you’ll need a hosting account with a hosting provider like Pressable or Bluehost. And you’ll also need to own a domain at which the site can be accessed.
Or if you create the site with us on WordPress.com, using our modified version of the WordPress software, we provide you with hosting and a free example.wordpress.com to use for your site, for as long as you want. We do also sell paid plans, but those are optional, and just for adding extra features to your site.

Let me know if you have any other questions about this.
