  Hi –

  What did you purchase from them? A hosting plan? A domain?

  So there’s 2 versions of WordPress. What we do here at WordPress.com is a managed environment, and we provide the hosting for your site. You wouldn’t need an external host with WordPress.com.

  When running your own WordPress installation you do need a hosting provider.
  This is referred to as WordPress.org – and it sounds like you’ve started down this road.

  I’d suggest taking a look over this page, which outlines some of the differences in the two versions of WordPress: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Let me know if you have any questions about which version of WordPress is going to be best for your experience level and project.

  These are the basic getting started materials for both options.
