WordPress.org vs. WordPress.com

Hi, I have a website and blog through WordPress.org with third party hosting. I can’t afford the hosting anymore. Can I use WordPress.com for free and keep the domain name of my website and all of the content? Thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
The content you can keep for free by exporting it from your self-hosted website then import it to your WordPress.com site. Learn more: https://transferto.wordpress.com/self-hosted-wordpress-org/
In terms of the domain, you’ll need to purchase a paid plan in order to transfer a custom domain to WordPress.com. If you don’t do this, your web address will have “.wordpress.com” in it rendering your custom domain pointless. The good news is that WordPress.com plans are a lot cheaper than most hosting providers though, and you can compare them here: https://wordpress.com/pricing
