Custom Domain
-
I have a domain called https://www.gocharting.com. Now I want to add a wordpress domain to it like https;//blog.gocharting.com using the premium plan of $4/month. How do I do that?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can buy a WordPress.com Personal plan and use the Map an existing domain option available: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
You will have to enter blog.gocharting.com as your existing domain.
After that, on your domain’s DNS settings, set a CNAME record pointing blog to gocharting.wordpress.com
Feel free to get back if you questions and I will be keen on helping through it!

If you have any other questions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help.

Thank you, much appreciate.
And what would be the process if I were to map the wordpress site to a directory within my domain like http://www.gocharting.com/blogs rather than a sub domain. I have heard a directory ranks better in SEO and hence the query

You can only map a domain or a subdomain to a WordPress.com site. Subdirectory mapping is not possible.

Hi, i´m trying to make my wordpress blog synk with my hompage by pointing it to a subdomain. Since I don’t know anything about things like this I just can’t get it to work.. My Domain-host can help me with that, but they need some kind of CNAME record and A record, where can I find that? :)
