  Hi there!

  To clear up any further confusion, there is WordPress.com and WordPress.org, and they are two different entities.

  We, WordPress.com, are a cloud-based platform where we manage WordPress sites, whereas WordPress.org is stand-alone software that you can download and self-host with any other hosting.

  You can find more details about WordPress.com and WordPress.org on this support page:

  https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/.

  That said, you will need to download WordPress software from WordPress.org to work on your site. For any questions about hosting, you’ll want to contact Siteground directly.

  If you need more help, you can check the community forums here: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/.

  http://wordpress.org/support/ is also a great resource for sites using the open-source WordPress.org software.
