Do i need to pay for adding domain on WP if already purchased from different source?
-
Hello,
I am about to buy a wordpress hosting from Namebox.ro but i have a question about domain. If i already purchased a domain from different site and get that wordpress hosting am i able to change the domain name from ‘mywebsite.wordpress.com’ to domain name i bought or i just have to add new. And most important for me, is it charging any additional money to use a domain i bought from different source and using it here on wordpress.
I have read a support page about domains but i can’t understand if i need to still pay money to add a domain i bought from different site.
Thank you for help.

Hi there!

We have a couple of things to clear up here! If you buy hosting from somewhere other than WordPress.com, your site’s URL won’t have .WordPress.com in it (like yoursite.WordPress.com). You will be self- hosting with a WordPress.org install. There are some major differences between WordPress.com, and WordPress.org. You can read about the differences here:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
Every plan here at WordPress.com comes with hosting included (even the free plan!) If you want to just get a custom domain name, you can purchase any upgraded plan, and not worry about paying to host your site elsewhere. You can check out the plans here:

And most important for me, is it charging any additional money to use a domain i bought from different source and using it here on wordpress.
If you purchased a site and want it mapped to here at WordPress.com, you will need to purchase an upgraded plan. Here are the steps to add domain mapping:
