  Hi All,

  I’m missing something here. I’m trying to add a new blog, using the Personal (£3 a month) plan, and a new custom domain. But when I type my domain into the page at https://wordpress.com/start/personal/domains all the selectable options say “Included in WordPress.com Premium”, which is £7 a month. How do I do I setup a Personal plan with a custom domain, and not Premium?

  Thanks,

  Can you check what happens when you choose a selectable from the list?

  It reads “Included in WordPress.com Premium” for me too, but when I choose a desired name and move forward, my checkout page shows WordPress.com Personal plan.

  Can you check if this is same case for you too?

  Howdy :)

  Head over to wordpress.com/pricing/ and you can add the personal plan directly from there.

  Next, go to your account and click on My Sites > Domains > Add and you should be able to proceed with the domain registration.

  Write back with any other questions.

  Thanks for your help guys.
  I’m going to get started with a free account, and upgrade later.
  Thanks again,
