  Hi,

  Domain mapping is a paid service on WordPress.com, yes, and requires one of our paid plans.

  https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  And while it’s possible to transfer a domain to us without a plan, setting your transferred domain as primary on your site, so it’s the domain visitors see in their browsers, likewise requires a paid plan.

  Domains

  You can map or transfer your domain here at WordPress.com site once you are done with your site. Please check the below link for more details:

  Please see these guides:
  Transfer Domain :

  Map Domain:

  Hope this helps.

  Thanks.

  Hi there,

  
  @adarshhalan is correct – if you have a domain you want to use at WordPress.com that you have hosted elsewhere, you do indeed have the option to map or transfer that domain.

  First, whether you map or transfer your existing domain, you will need to purchase a WordPress.com plan.

  The biggest factors to consider would be who you want to host your domain, how much your domain host currently costs compared to the domain + plans packages we offer here, and whether or not you want to host your domain and site at the same place.

  If you transfer the domain to WordPress.com, we’ll manage the domain. You’ll pay for the mapping and the plan here (domain is included within the plan price for the first year).

  But, if you keep the domain with your current host and map the domain to WordPress.com, your current host will continue to manage the domain and you’ll still need to pay them for hosting your domain.
