    Since Jetpack brings WordPress.com features to your self-hosted WordPress.org site, it requires a WordPress.com account, much like how a plugin which brought Facebook features to your site would require a Facebook account.

    Almost all of Jetpack’s features make use of heavy processing power (Photon the image CDN, related posts indexing), heavy database usage (stats), or require connections to third-party systems that can be very complicated to setup by yourself (Publicize’s automated sharing to social networks, email subscriptions, etc).

    We take care of that all on WordPress.com’s server cluster so your hosting provider doesn’t suspend you for using excessive resources.

    In order to do any of that, we need a WordPress.com account.

    Hi @jlibrot, Jetpack services are provided through the WordPress.com infrastructure. You don’t need a hosting account here with us though. Just an account so you can connect Jetpack and choose the plan that works for you.
