  Hi,

  I’m looking to buy a new domain, will I be able to use wordpress and custom installation I’ve on http://www.thebareilly.com. Also can I use my own custom/google ads and generate revenue for myself.

  Also, I need to know about SEO, Will getting and mapping new domain will effect my SEO in anyways.

  Waiting to hear back from you guys.

  Thanks,
  Prashant

  You can easily map your existing domain to your WordPress.com blog.
  Go to Upgrades > Domains on your blog’s dashboard and follow the steps there.

  Also, review the following guide: http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/

  Advertising at WordPress.com is not allowed. For full details, please see:

  Hi,

  What I wanted to specifically know here is that if I upgrade http://bareillyinfo.wordpress.com to http://www.bareillyuniversity.com It will cost me about $17 in total and in addition to it will I be able to show google ads on my new domain http://www.bareillyuniversity.com though here I understand that my site will be hosted on WordPress server itself.

  Thanks,
  Prashant

  I’m sorry, advertising isn’t allowed at WordPress.com. Regardless of having a mapped domain or not.
