WordPress Quick Question

Does wordpress need a hosting?

 

[MrBlue]

You have two options with WordPress:

1. Register and create a WordPress blog at WordPress.com
2. Self host your own WordPress install with your own domain name and hosting account.

So for option 2, yes you do need your own hosting.

Yes. AFAIK you can't use plugins on WP.com hosted WordPress. At least not without upgrading to PRO that's like $99/y or some other likewise ripoff price.

Yeah, I'll echo what the others said. WordPress.com has almost no flexibility and really limits what you can do. Hosting is cheap these days and prices are only going to get lower.

True, but OP asked about hosting WordPress - not about domain.
