  Hi louisemcnestrie

  I already own my domain and have a host to host my website. All I want is to use WordPress to create my actual website

  – As You mentioned that you just want to use WordPress to create your website then you need to use WordPress Org Software.
  WordPress Provide Different Platform According to the requirement of User. WordPress.com is platform where you can do everything register a domain, create your site and here you also don’t need to
  care about your site hosting.

  WordPress.org platform is that platform where you need to create a site using WordPress Software and Your domain and hosting can be done elsewhere.

  Your site can use WordPress.org software which can be hosted on another host.

  For more information here is the support documentation link below:

  WordPress.com forum helps the sites hosted on WordPress.com only

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are both different platforms, you can find more information for this here:

  Hope this helps you.
