    Hi there!

    To help clarify, hosting is included on all WordPress.com websites for free. You do not need to purchase additional hosting from another provider in order to manage your site on WordPress.com.
    
    Additionally, our paid plans are not required for hosting on our platform. Instead, the WordPress.com plans are available for any additional features you may want for your website. You can learn more about each of our plans and their features here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/plan-features/.

    If you’re interested in registering a custom domain (to remove the .wordpress.com bit from your site’s address), it will be free with any of our paid plans. You’ll only start paying for your domain from the second year.

    what are the advantages of wp.com over bluehost ?

    When you choose to self-host, you become responsible for your own backups, maintenance, security, and site performance, as well as theme and plugin compatibility. If you feel comfortable handling these aspects, it could be a good option for you.
    
    Meanwhile, WordPress.com takes care of all these developer operations in the background, so you can focus on building your website. Once you sign up with WordPress.com, you are ready to build your website immediately, without the need for any server-side configurations.
    
    WordPress.com also offers the benefits of the open-source software, plus managed hosting as a fully integrated SaaS (Software as a Service) solution. This means you have access to the power and scalability of the latest version of WordPress, plus superior hosting speed, automated backups, and security features on our platform.

    Let me know if you have any more questions regarding that.
