If you mean that you have a blog wordpress.com already and want to spend your own domain, or a blog just want to have your own domain, wordpress.com sold as an option: http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/11/10/domain- mapping / In all honesty, if all you want to do with your domain name is a blog, I would go that route, since all geek-free. However, if a blog is only part what you might want to do on your site, or if you feel more comfortable to have full control over your blog, I recommend buying a hosting package with Dreamhost the automatic installer. That's what I use for my blog. 1. Go to http://www.dreamhost.com and click register now left. 2. L1 purchase the service for $ 9.95 per month, register for the year.
