wordpress.com vs godaddy?
So I am trying to make a website to market myself better to potential employers. Unfortunately, I already bought a domain with godaddy, but I am having second thoughts now. With the free hosting, there are so few options! It is not possible to use wordpress for hosting unless you pay a monthly fee. I do not want to pay a monthly fee (unemployed) but I would like my website to look nice. So I am wondering if you get all the wordpress functionality by registering with wordpress.com instead and not have to pay a monthly fee. Just the initial annual fee of registering it. I tried to look this up online but it was not very clear. Thanks in advance! I really appreciate it. PS, I already spoke to a godaddy representative who said if i get a refund on my domain registration they won't have it back in circulation for 60-90 days. I'm ok with this, no need to inform me!

A free website at wordpress.com can't give you all the functionality, not the freedom to add any new features. So, if you are looking to create a business specific site, then you must go for paid hosting. You may create your website at wordpress.org using wordpress' paid hosting, this will give you a free cms support and you can also install free wordpress plugins for better functionality of your website
If you use free hosting, you will be giving up some functionality. You simply aren't given the permissions needed to do certain things.
You may wind up with a dog slow website.
You may wind up with someone else's ads on your site.
It's very difficult to get a free site to rank well in search engines.
No support to speak of.
Limits on what you can do design wise.
You may end up with a banner somewhere that says something like "Get your own free site!"
If it were me, I would not use a free site to "market myself."
