Hello Aung Kyaw,

.com names cost people money, so companies don’t give them out for free, unless you purchase hosting with them.

check out this link there is a similar question posted on MUO you may find your answer there…

If the information on the page is correct you should be able to get a free WordPress blog at Blogetery together with the option to map your own “.com” domain to it.

One alternative I know if is using WordPress with domain mapping which unfortunately costs $12 per year.

The only other options I can think of is URL forwarding:
all users going to your “example.com” will be forwarded to wherever your blog is e.g. “yourname.wordpress.com”

or URL masking:
the domain points to e.g. “yourname.wordpress.com” but visitors will always see “example.com” with the downside being you can’t direct links to certain posts
