I want to register a personal domain on Wordpress. I already have an accouont but the registeration is not taking place as per my liking. The domain that I want to register says that it can be registered as dot com. But when the page of upgrading with paypal loads it says that there is the address with the domain name followed by wordpress dot com. How is this happening? I want to remove the [{wordpress}] and only keep the domain name along with dot com. what should I do? Please help me

Also, if you don't want to buy hosting but just want your own domain name, you could purchase the name and use it as a redirect or marked URL to your free wordpress blog. This is just if you prefer not to purchase hosting. Of course, purchasing a domain & hosting and using the paid wordpress.org platform would be best if you want complete control over your blogging empire.

Wordpress.com is the Wordpress free blogging platform, which is like blogger so when you make a blog there it's going to be a sub domain of Wordpress.com. What you want is Wordpress.org where you download the blogging software and then upload it on a hosting site like HostGator or GoDaddy.
