  Hi there,

  You may map your domain to WordPress.com by following our mapping guide found at:

  A plan is required to map a domain bought outside of WordPress.com.

  If you plan to host your site at HostGator you will not need to buy a plan from WordPress.com instead work with HostGator to install WordPress from WordPress.org.

  This guide has more on the differences between your two options for running WordPress:
