Already have a Domain Name
-
Hi – I’m in the process of maybe signing up for WordPress. Q1 – If I set up domain forwarding from the current registrar, what is the URL – something like ‘UserName.Wordpress.com’ ? Q2 – Can you show me an example of a website that is using the $4 a month hosting, so I can see how many ads are involved ? Thanks for any info.

Hi there!
Let me answer your questions :)
If I set up domain forwarding from the current registrar, what is the URL – something like ‘UserName.Wordpress.com’ ?
That format is only for free domains. If you have a custom domain and you’ll connect it to your site (domain mapping), your WordPress.com site will be using that custom domain, like yourdomain.com.
Can you show me an example of a website that is using the $4 a month hosting, so I can see how many ads are involved ?
Sites with paid plans do not display any ads. That is unless you’d like to join the WordAds program:
Let me know if you have any more questions regarding that.

Normally whether or not the domain shows is related to whether I have domain masking set up at the registrar.
Are you saying I don’t have to use domain masking, at the registrar ?

Domain masking is not a proper way to point the domain to WordPress.com. Instead, you need to use one of the following options. Please review.
1. Mapping: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
2. Transfer: https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/Both of those require a personal plan upgrade. That plan, features, and other details are listed on https://wordpress.com/pricing/
