  Hi,
  I know nothing about coding. I wanted to buy a personal plan and use my own domain name. But I want to know: Will I have to buy a hosting service after the upgrade? Or will only my domain name change and I will be able to continue editing my site from the control panel as before?
  Thank you.

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hello there,

  You wouldn’t need additional hosting if you buy a personal plan.

  Once purchased, it’s possible to connect the domain according to these instructions: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/

  …I will be able to continue editing my site from the control panel as before?

  Have you already got a WordPress site with another provider? If yes, you wouldn’t need to purchase a personal plan with WordPress.com.

  This is because you may already be using self-hosted WordPress. There’s more information on this here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
