  I have a domain which is registered in China through Aliyun and bind with a Elastic Compute Service by Aliyun as well. I would like to use WordPress to map the website but I am not sure if it works because of the China firewall. I could not map the domain without paying so I cannot try it out. Please kindly help. Thank you.

  Hi –

  In theory, yes, you can do this. WordPress.com does get frequently blocked in China though. For that reason, it might not be the best option.

  As long as you can set name servers through your domain provider the domain mapping will work.

  You’ll need the personal plan or higher, via https://wordpress.com/plans/

  Give it a try. The plan is refundable for 30 days.
