  1. Create a free website or build a blog with ease on WordPress.com. Dozens of free, customizable, mobile-ready designs and themes. Free hosting and support.
    That is only for the free version hosted on wordpress.com. Premium hosting on wordpress.com allows custom domains. As will any other hosting provider. Pretty much all webhosting providers will have a "one-click" install of WordPress too.
