  Hi. I want to purchase the Premium plan, but is hosting included with it? I know this may seem like a silly question, but I can not seem to wrap my head around how having a wordpress website works. Also, can you have email?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  Yes, all WordPress.com plans include hosting!
  You can see the plans here: https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  The hosting is the server or the home for your website. I like to think of a website as a house in a neighborhood. You need land to have a house, so that is hosting. The house’s address is the domain name or URL. The house itself is your website. The way the house looks and the decor is the theme or style of the website.
