So, I am absolutely new to this so do pardon if I am confusing the concepts.
I am trying to start my own blog and have chosen [Wordpress.com](http://Wordpress.com) as the platform. I don’t have a domain yet.
WordPress provides a free domain with the subdomain “WordPress.com”. Would it be wise to choose that? Or should I go for one of the paid plans or perhaps choose a domain name from a cheaper website?
We don’t recommend WordPress.com around here, it has a lot of restrictions and below par hosting amongst other things. You should you choose a separate hosting provider, purchase a domain, then setup WordPress.org through the hosting provider so you have full access to WordPress for a cheaper cost.
