Wordpress.com is 100% free to create your own free Wordpress blog on. You are basically getting a subdomain from the main Wordpress.com domain. Your Wordpress website address will be whatever-name-for-your-blog-you-pick.wordpress.com There is no hosting fee because you are just getting a folder / subdomain off the Wordpress.com domain. Wordpress.org is referred to as the paid version of Wordpress. Simply because Wordpress.org is the official Wordpress "company" Wordpress is more of a group of code happy PHP geeks as opposed to an official for profit company. I'm a PHP geek myself so no offense meant. ;) Now if you want your very own unique domain name then you will have to buy that unique website domain name. Wordpress.com DOES allow you to transfer your unique domain name to their hosting account so yes you can get free hosting that way. Remember though FREE comes with limitations. If you've gone as far as buying your own domain name you might as well get a paid web host and take it all the way. ;)
