 * Hi there, so yesterday I bought a domain with godaddy and then I came over to
   wordpress and purchased a hosting option…well, today I go on etsy and I want 
   to buy a template and it says its only for wordpress.ORG not .com. what does 
   that even mean?
 * How in the world do I get a wordpress.org page so I can use this template? As
   you can see, I am not by ANY means familiar with this stuff and I just really
   need someone to help me 🙂 any ADVICE is welcomed. Thank you!
 * Again: domain with godaddy, hosting with wordpress.com and I want to know how
   I can get a .org to use this template I saw online.

 * [WordPress.org](https://wordpress.org/) is for stand-alone websites that are 
   hosted – which is what you should have:
 * > so yesterday I bought a domain with godaddy
 * Read this: [WordPress Codex : Getting Started with WordPress](https://codex.wordpress.org/Getting_Started_with_WordPress)
   and this: [WordPress.com and WordPress.org](https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/)
 * > and then I came over to wordpress and purchased a hosting option
 * WordPress does not sell hosting options, as it is not a host. Where did you “
   purchase a hosting option”?
    When you get purchase your domain at Godaddy, you
   should have purchased hosting as well: [https://ca.godaddy.com/hosting/wordpress-hosting](https://ca.godaddy.com/hosting/wordpress-hosting)

 * kay, maybe i didnt purchase a hosting option…but something was charged to my 
   card…ill have to check that out…i was reading that bluehost is a great option
   for hosting on wordpress, but that could have just been a sponsored blogger or
   something.
 * i want that template that i saw, so i think that maybe bluehost is the best option
   for me as they are affiliated with wordpress..
 * ill double check the hosting for godaddy, but im pretty sure i didnt buy hosting
   through godaddy because when i enter the URL, it says “get your website to work,
   add hosting and turn your domain into a website”

 * Probably the domain name registering, usually somewhere around $12 to $15 (…in
   Canada, anyhow)
