  Hi! My current domain (havaleena.com) is hosted at hostmysite.com. Seems like you guys would charge $18/year to host the domain and I could have my current http://www.havaleena2.wordpress.com be http://www.havaleena.com WITH YOU.

  QUESITONS:

  1. Is this right?
  2. What do I need to do?

  Thanks in advance!

  All hosting here is free of charge. The fee is an annual charge for domain mapping. See here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
  Follow these instructions if you already have a domain that you registered elsewhere, and you want to map that domain to your blog.

  Oops! Mean the post (above) to go to the WordPress support people not the forum. But, since it went to the forum: any of you guys have the info? Thanks a lot — Monica

  Hi,
  I already posted the links you need to map an existing domain above. This is a peer support forum. Here Volunteers and Staff work cooperatively to deliver support. Here Volunteers answer most questions and Staff monitor. When Volunteers cannot provide the required support we flag threads for Staff attention.

  PS – WordPress.COM is not set up to accept incoming domain name transfers so you will need to keep the domain name registered not here – so your cost will be $ 13.– / a year for the mapping (see above) plus the domain registration of your name at your registrar
