  Hello,
  With the purchase of any WordPress.com annual plan, you can register a new domain for free for one year.
  Learn more about the features of each plan:

  • Having a custom domain has many advantages, including:
  • Credibility: A personalized email address with your own domain can increase your brand’s trust in your customers and business partners.
  • Personalization: With a custom domain, you can create an online presence that uniquely reflects your brand.
  • Professionalism: A custom domain can help convey your company’s image as being serious and professional.
  • SEO: Having a unique and consistent web address can help improve your site’s ranking in search engines.

  But you can keep your domain free even if you have a paid plan.
  Hope this helps!

  Hi, thanks for your answer and for explaining the benefits of a plan – but I’m not sure how it works. If I take the plan, free for a year and the free domain, does that mean I have to tell my followers where to find me or does the url stay the same?

  I’m sure that’s a really daft question but I don’t understand so have to ask! I may not have many followers but I don’t want to start again from zero!
