  Hi there,

  Can you tell us the URL of the site you need help with? The account you’re using to post here isn’t associated with the email address you gave above, and you also don’t own any upgrades under this account.

  If you meant you want your site in this account, http://hbgccc.wordpress.com/, to be under the other account instead, you can follow these steps to transfer ownership of the site to the other account:

  https://wordpress.com/en/support/transferring-a-site-to-another-wordpress-com-account/

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Hi there, thanks for letting us know!

  I took a look at the domain, and it is registered under the account you posted your reply from, cctcofhbg, and not the original account, michahd13.

  If you want to control it under the cctcofhbg account, you’re all set, just make sure you’re logged in under that account. :)

  If you want to control it under the michahd13 account, please follow the steps at https://wordpress.com/support/transferring-a-site-to-another-wordpress-com-account/ to transfer ownership of both the site and domain.

  Please let us know if you have any more questions!

  Hi there, almost, yes.

  You will need a paid Pro plan to set a custom domain as your site’s primary address: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/#set-a-primary-address

  You can purchase a Pro plan for your site from https://wordpress.com/plans

  Since the Pro plan includes 1 free year of custom domain registration https://wordpress.com/pricing/ please let us know after you acquire the plan, and I’ll issue a refund for the $18 you paid to register the domain by itself. :)

  We require a plan to set your own domain as the primary address on your site, yes. You can find more information here:

  https://wordpress.com/support/domains/#set-a-primary-address

  Without a plan, the domain will still take people to your site, but the free WordPress.com address will show in the browser address bar.
