  I’m trying to add a new site to my WP account. Though I haven’t created the site yet I already have the domain name and it is on a hosting service. I tried making a new site on here and it asks me to pay for domain mapping, but I don’t want to do that. What should I do?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello @klevenn12,

  In order to map an existing domain on a blog, You will need an upgraded WordPress.com plan.

  Hi there,

  If you want to use your domain that is hosted with other server on WordPress.com, your account will require a plan upgrade. Each plan comes with a credit for your domain, so there’s not an additional fee there.

  Check out the plans at https://wordpress.com/pricing/ and add one to your account. Then you can proceed with the domain transfer or mapping.

  You can map your domain here at WordPress.com, refer below link
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  If you wish to move your domain and transfer here at WordPress.com then refer below link
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/

  In both cases you need have upgraded WordPress.com plan

  Let me know if you need more information on this.

  Thanks.
