  Hi there!

  I see that you already registered the domain thepowerofoneword.com and set it as the primary address. Congratulations!

  To answer your question, you don’t have to have a domain with a WordPress.com plan, but it’s a good idea to get one. One of the benefits of upgrading to a WordPress.com plan is the ability to set a custom domain as the primary address on your site. When you use a custom domain on your site, it looks more professional.

  You also have SEO benefits, and you can verify your site with site verification tools like Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.

  A custom domain also lets you create your own personalized email address that ends with the domain, like (email visible only to moderators and staff). You can see how to create a personalized email address here.

  Feel free to let us know if you have more questions.
