  I want a .com primary domain – does this come as part of the premium package ($96/year) or is there an additional fee?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Yes, it is included. No there is no additional charge.

  WordPress.com provides free blogs and hosts them free of charge. There are no bandwidth charges. All WordPress.com blogs come with 3000 megabytes (~3 GBs) of space for storing uploaded files and images. Free features are listed here https://en.wordpress.com/features/

  We have 4 different plans: free, personal, premium and business. All hosting is free regardless of which plan you choose. You can view all wordpress.com plan features here https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  How domain mapping works
  Registering an underlying .wordpress.com URL first is required for domain mapping. That underlying URL does not have to match the domain URL when you are domain mapping.

  What domain mapping does is providing a seamless redirect to the very same content under the new domain URL when a person clicks the old URL .wordpress.com to the original content. It can take up to 72 hours for domain propagation to take place throughout the internet but it doesn’t usually take that long. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  Thanks for the quick response. I don’t want a .blog domain – I want a .com blog (name.com – which does not include WordPress or blog). That’s free with a premium plan? I ask, because as I walked thru the payment process, it appeared to add an $18 additional fee.

  Hi –

  Yes, you can register a .com domain as part of your premium plan, at no additional charge.
