  WordPress.com provides free hosting.

  No, there is no phone number.

  If you want to purchase paid upgrades for your blog http://naturblonddotnet.wordpress.com/ the options are on your dashboard Store page and http://store.wordpress.com/

  There are different flavors of WordPress!
  WordPress.COM is hosted for free.
  WordPress.ORG involves paying for a host and using free software to make it work.

  Here are details about the two different platforms:

  Please note that all paid upgrades on free-hosted WordPress.COM mean you are still hosted here for free and are therefore still subject to the Terms of Service you agreed to when you signed up.

  Do you simply want a NAME.com (or .org etc.) in your domain name, then you can check out domain mapping: http://en.support.wordpress.com/add-a-domain/
  or
  Do you need plugins and adverts on your site? then wp.org is for you.
