    Hi Pubic Forum,
    I am trying to establish my blog, however, it seems as though I have to buy a domain to create it. There is a page that offers a free one year domain, but then charges me the next year. Must I purchase a domain name to establish my blog?

    Hi there,

    There’s no need to buy a domain when you create a site.

    All sites on WordPress.com get a free WordPress.com subdomain like example.wordpress.com when the site is created, that functions just like any regular subdomain, and your site is fully online and accessible at that subdomain (provided you set it to public).

    That free address never expires, and even if you later decide to upgrade to a custom domain, it will continue to exist in the background for as long as your site exists.
