  Hello,

  I am new to the WordPress world. I am trying to build a website for a client and I have been looking into .com and .org. I am getting very overwhelmed. I

  am learning that if I use .org, I am building more CSS where .com does not allow you to do this. I am also learning that if I use .org, I will have to pay to host my website. But if I use .com, WordPress automatically hosts it? Is this true?

  I have purchased a domain name through GoDaddy and have my email accounts with Microsoft Office. Microsoft Office has free hosting and I was hoping to use WordPress.com as it may be easier for me to set up. If I use this, I will not need to use the hosting service from Office?

  I don’t understand correctly but, What I understand is that you can a GoDaddy domain and Office hosting for email, True?

  You can easily connect the domain to the blog, that way: http://support.godaddy.com/help/article/5182/mapping-your-domain-to-work-with-a-wordpress-com-blog or that: en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/ (Link 1 from GoDaddy support and next from WordPress.com support)
  and email that way: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/add-email/
