 * Hello
 * Hi didn’t pay big attention on that ; I created an account for free hosting on
   wordpress.com
 * Does it have anything to do with original wordpress.org ?
 * If yes, is there a way to get support ? I’d like to install a theme which I can
   find in wordpress.org catalogue, but not on wordpress.com
 * And it seems there is no way to install theme manually
 * Thank you !
 * Will

 * WordPress.com isn’t related to WordPress.org, here’s an article explaining the
   differences: [https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/](https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/)

 * No, nothing at all. .com hosts sites and .org does not.

 * Correct. In order to do that, you would first have to purchase hosting somewhere
   so you could have what is called a self-hosted site running WordPress as available
   from here at wordpress.org.

 * Thank you
 * I didn’t know that :

   > hosted version, whose software is available for free at WordPress.org.
 * Thank you very much !
