  Hi there,

  Unfortunately no. All domains must be attached to a site and this requires a plan.

  If you have any other questions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help.

  Thanks. I was under the impression I can build a site through WordPress and use any hosting service I like? But that isn’t possible as I need to use my registered domain to build the site, and that means I must use WordPress to host the site? Is that correct?
  Apologies I’m a completely new to this.

  Hi –

  There are 2 versions of WordPress.

  What happens here at WordPress.com is different from using the WordPress installation with a separate hosting provider.

  Check out this page that has more details about those differences:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Head over to https://wordpress.org/ to download the WordPress installation and get started.
