  can you give me more info on the hosting that is included with the business plan? If we already have a domain name, can we transfer that name to the free domain that comes with the paid business plan?

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

  The answer to both questions is yes.

  We have 4 different plans: free, personal, premium and business. All hosting is free regardless of which plan you choose.

  You can view all wordpress.com plan features here https://wordpress.com/pricing/ Add a plan for each of your sites here: http://store.wordpress.com/plans/.

  The Business upgrade includes:
  • Google analytics
  • Footer Credit Options https://en.support.wordpress.com/footer-credits/
  • SEO Tools https://en.support.wordpress.com/seo-tools/
  • The ability to install most plugins including woocommerce and the ability to install third party themes.

  How domain mapping works
  Registering an underlying .wordpress.com URL first is required for domain mapping. That underlying URL does not have to match the domain URL when you are domain mapping. What domain mapping does is providing a seamless redirect to the very same content under the new domain URL when a person clicks the old URL .wordpress.com to the original content. It can take up to 72 hours for domain propagation to take place throughout the internet but it doesn’t usually take that long. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  There are 3 ways to add a custom domain to your blog. Please note that an active WordPress.com plan is required to add a custom domain to your site. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#getting-started

  WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible. http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

  The domain or mapping of any existing domain URL is included in the pricing for a personal upgrade, a premium and a business upgrade. The WordPress.COM upgrade for mapping a domain must be renewed annually.

  Hi hotworkforce,

  can we transfer that name to the free domain that comes with the paid business plan?

  As timethief highlighted, we don’t currently accept incoming domain transfers. However, each paid plan includes a domain credit which can be used to map a domain you already own:

  If you need any more information, just let me know!
