  Hi there,

  You can connect a domain you own to WordPress for free. Even if this domain is managed outside WordPress.com.

  This will involve going to Upgrades → Domains and adding a domain.

  You can follow the exact steps here: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/#steps-to-connect-a-domain

  Hope that helps.

  Hi @dn2710

  I think I should clarify that it is not free to connect an outside domain. To do that you will need our WordPress.com Pro Plan. More info here.

  Once you upgrade to that plan, you can connect an outside domain for free (e.g. there is not an additional charge to do that) but free sites can only use a “wordpress.com” email address, and do not have a custom domain option at this time.

  Let us know if you need further assistance or if you have any questions.
