  I do not get it. I buy a domain at Blue Host and Blue Host recommends me to you (WordPress) and then you want me to switch out of Blue Host to you. This sounds lie a double cross.

  Hi there!

  To clear up any further confusion, there is WordPress.com and WordPress.org and they are two different entities.

  We, WordPress.com are a cloud-based platform where we manage WordPress sites, whereas WordPress.org is a stand-alone software that you can download and self-host with any other hosting.

  You can find more details about WordPress.com and WordPress.org on this support page:

  https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

  That said, you can create your site here, on WordPress.com, or you can use the WordPress software and host your site elsewhere, for example with Bluehost.

  Let me know if you have any more questions regarding that.
