Domain

    Hello! I purchased a domain through Namecheap, and would like to map it to my wordpress site. However, when I do that, it tells me I have to upgrade to the premium plan and pay $99. Is there no way to simply attach my domain without paying the $99 fee? I’m not sure why I’d have to pay a fee when I already paid for my domain through a third-party website.

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

    Hello,

    If you already own a domain you can ‘map’ it to your WordPress.com site using Domain Mapping. You will need a paid WordPress.com plan — this doesn’t have to be the Premium plan, you can purchase the Personal plan if you’d rather. There is more information on this support page:

    https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

    Each paid plan includes a free domain credit which you can use to map a domain you already own (or register a new one).

    Come back to me if you have any questions!
