  WordPress.com is both software and hosting combined. You don’t need to use a hosting provider with this service.

  There is also software maintained by the open source WordPress.org project, that is designed to be installed on a hosting service like GoDaddy.

  Here’s a breakdown of the two, which might help clarify things: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
