Hmmm lets think now, godaddy nailed wiki-leaks, wordpress servers are more reliable than godaddy with better security, anonymous proved that ,wordpress support free speech, wordpress has a ethos, the dashboard is easy to use, its prices are good, hows that for reasons?

You will also need to buy your domain name.

The key bit of information you need is that there are different flavors of WordPress and they are separate and each has distinct rules and costs:

The fee for the domain name means your URL will be http://YOUR_NAME_OF_CHOICE. com (or .net or other designations.)

You can use that name with free hosting here on wp.com

You are still restricted to the Terms of Service here:
See this notice: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/register-domain/#before-upgrading-important-notes

Same Rules Apply – The Domain Mapping Upgrade does not enable the permission to use advertising, any kind of prohibited code, or upload additional themes or plugins. With the upgrade, your blog will still be hosted here at WordPress.com, which means that you will not have FTP access to your files and you will still be required to abide by our Terms of Service.

Mapping a domain name (registered somewhere, including at godaddy or any other number of other places) is not as expensive as paying for a domain name and hosting somewhere (hosting at godaddy for example).

Here is information about domain mapping:
