It is a really neat way to design a website.
The actual system hosts your Domain Name on the hosting company of your choice.
Then you are free to sample and use all the incredible number of tools available within WordPress to create, design, build and publish your own website.
It became very popular with Bloggers and then blossomed into a full-fledged business website because it was so easy to use, required very little code knowledge and has some really cool tools to show off your talents!
This is all well and good.
