  Hello!

  Yes, you can absolutely change your host to WordPress.com.

  You’ll find a page here, explaining how to migrate your existing WordPress.org sites over to WordPress.com: https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-from-self-hosted-wordpress-to-wordpress-com/

  You can find WordPress.com Plans & Pricing here: https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  Instructions to transfer a domain you already own to WordPress.com here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/

  Siteground has its own requirements for transferring a domain to another host (namely, unlocking the domain): https://www.siteground.com/kb/i_want_to_transfer_my_domain_name_to_another_registrar_how/

  If you do this, WordPress.com will manage your domain, and your domain and hosting can be managed all in one place.

  Or you can map your domain from your Siteground site to your WordPress.com site following the instructions here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  If you do this, Siteground will still manage your domain, but it’ll point to your WordPress.com site.

  I hope this helps! Let us know if you have any further questions. 🙂
