  Hi there,

  It’s not necessary, except you want to host your website on WordPress.com.

  Hello ebonybaker88,

  If you are trying to use jetpack on the self-hosted WordPress site (WordPress.org), you will be prompted to connect with your WordPress.com account.

  A WordPress.com account is required when using Jetpack
