Beginner Q&A: Do I still need to purchase a domain and other things if I have WordPress?

In a WordPress group, I saw a beginner friend asking: If I have WordPress, do I still need to buy a Domain and such? Clearly, this friend misunderstood. To create a website, you need a Domain and a server. WordPress is just a website building program, so you still need to buy a Domain.What role does WordPress play in the website installation process?In the process of building a website, WordPress acts as the programmer. That means we don't need to know how to code to build a website. Others can see the website's content, and we can add Posts in the website's Admin Dashboard. In the past, building a website required a programmer to write code for this part. Now, you can just install WordPress. The Domain and server are where the website is accessed and where the website data is stored. WordPress needs to be stored on a server, and then others access it via the Domain. So, having WordPress doesn't mean you don't need to buy a Domain and server; you still need to buy them.
