  I just bought a domain name only today with web hosting and security and I want to use that on my WordPress account. Is that possible?

  If you bought a domain with hosting, you don’t need WordPress.com. instead you must install the open source WordPress.org for self-hosted sites, https://wordpress.org/

  Hi there,

  If you want to host your site with us on WordPress.com, you don’t need to buy hosting anywhere else.

  But you will need a paid plan to connect your domain to your https://homacharya.wordpress.com/ site:
