Do I need a Web Host?

[ChangeYourLife]

I want to run a blog, and currently own a domain name and have purchased the year-long Wordpress Personal Plan. Do I still need to run the site through a hosting software like Bluehost?

I am pretty sure if you paid for the year from word press hosting is covered.

Can you go to yoursite.com and see your content?

If so you don't have to worry about hosting but monitor the deals because you will.

Do some research on speed effecting your ranking and look for a fast host.

Someone mentioned black Friday deals being really good for hosting.
