  Hello, I’m a new user to website creation and hosting but I’m eager to learn.
  I’m having trouble with getting traction on starting the whole process though.
  I purchased a domain name from WordPress.com, I’ve been following the guides on WordPress.org’s sites on how to start up but came to an early stop when I tried to use Filezilla to connect to the host for the FTP.
  I then realized that WordPress.com and WordPress.org are different entities entirely.
  So now I’m stuck and I can’t figure out what to do from here.
  I guess I don’t understand domains or how this whole thing works very well.

  Can I use the domain I bought from this wordpress.com website for WordPress.org or will I have to buy/transfer a new domain somewhere else? Or can I use the domain I bought here to go to a host somewhere else using WordPress and FIlezilla to manipulate the themes?

  Much appreciated
  Daniel

  I suppose what Im asking is
  How can I keep the domain address but get FTP access with filezilla and the wordpress.org tools.
