  Hi there,

  What do you mean “3 features”? I don’t understand what you are talking about.

  I also don’t see any domains in your account. To add a custom domain or domain mapping to your WordPress.com you will need to buy the Premium or Business plan for your site.

  Domains

  Is my domain name free with the free plan that I already have, or is it required to purchase the premium plan in order to have my domain name with WordPress?

  Every wordpress.com blog is on a .wordpress.com subdomain URL.
  To domain map from an underlying .wordpress.com URL to a custom URL for a domain requires purchasing an annually renewable upgrade.

  See here for details of all 3 plans http://store.wordpress.com/bundles/ offered by WordPress.com.

  Note that each upgrade bundle applies to a single blog only and is for a single year only when it is due to be renewed.

  We all pay in full for every upgrade at the time of purchase. Make sure you read the comparison very closely do you know exactly what the restrictions and limitations on WordPress.COM blogging are: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  There are no premium themes included in the premium upgrade bundle. http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/ And every premium theme is individually priced.

  If you select the free plan, you get a free *.wordpress.com address.

  If you want an address without “wordpress” in it, you need the Premium or Business plan which includes a free custom domain or a domain mapping.

  I hope that clarifies it.
