  I thought it didn’t cost anything

  Hi there,

  Are you referring to using WordPress.com, or the domain of your site?

  If you are referring to being asked to pay for a plan when you create a site, there is an option at the top of the Plans page that says ‘Not sure yet? Start with a free site.’ If you select ‘Start with a free site’ you’ll be able to start without paying.
  (You can upgrade to a paid plan later if you choose to. You can find out more about plans in the support post https://wordpress.com/support/plan-features/)

  If you’re referring to trying to get a domain name and the site creation page suggesting domains that need to be renewed annually, then there are options further down the page that you can choose which are free and don’t need to be renewed.

  I hope this answers your question!
