Hi Ola,
When you purchase a plan here, your site is automatically hosted by WordPress.com. In order to use a custom domain (e.g. Ucadmediaonline.com), you can register your domain with WordPress.com unless you currently own a domain that you registered with another hosting company.
Here is a support document that explains the options available with WordPress.com sites: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
Hope this answers your question.

Hello @clubcityrecords
Sites on wordpress.com are hosted at no cost. It is completely free regardless of which plan you are on.When you upgrade you are just paying to increase the server storage space along with some additional features.
More information about this can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/space-upgrade/#frequently-asked-questions
If you want to host your site somewhere else, you might wanna consider using WordPress.ORG-a self hosted platform/software to create blogs, websites and more.
Find out the differences between WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG here:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/If you wish to move your blog from WordPress.COM to WordPress.ORG, follow the instructions given here:
https://move.wordpress.com/You can ask for help while creating your site using WordPress.ORG on this support forum: https://wordpress.org/support/. Because, this forum only supports the sites hosted on WordPress.COM.
Hope this helps 🙂
