  If I buy the domain name to my site through wordpress, do I own that domain then?

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

  Yes. The domain will be yours as long as you continue to pay the yearly registration fee.

  Thanks, seems too good to be true, if I buy the domain elsewhere l can get it for £10, but would then have to pay an extra £11 a year to use it for my blog. But if I get it via WordPress its £15 a year all in? Is that right?

  That used to be the case, but WordPress.com changed the domain registration recently. To buy a domain on WordPress.com you’ll need to have an active plan on your site.
