  Hi I would like clarification on this this please.
  If you google wordpress.com you will also get a site that offers download of WordPress software (see wordpress.org).
  Reading the instructions for set up of Domain and Hosting there is nothing mentioned about needing to download software for this purpose.
  Please clarify why/when download of workpress software would be necessary.

  Many thanks,

  Caroline

  The answer to the title question is “no”.
