  I’m starting a new blog and am thinking of using WordPress. If I sign up through WordPress.com and go with the premium pricing does that include hosting my site? It seems a bit confusing…

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

  Hi, @splashofwhine,

  Yes, when you use WordPress.com, they are your hosting provider, whether you are on the Free Plan or Business Plan.

  WordPress.com makes it super easy to upgrade, too, if you find a different plan suits you better.

  For high-level information on how WordPress.com and WordPress.org differ, please view this page: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
  Per the link above:

  Premium hosting, security, and backups are included. You can even upgrade to a custom domain, like YourGroovyDomain.com.

  I adore your name, by the way.

  Let me know if you have additional questions.
