  Hello.

  I was trying to connect a domain I own to the wordpress.com account. On one screen I see that the price is $14/year, but when I try to buy it, you charge at least $46/year. Could you explain, please?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  Hi there,

  It can be easy to miss, but you have the option in the upper right hand corner of the plan page:

  

  You can absolutely use your custom domain with your WordPress.com site with or without a paid plan for $14/yr. You don’t need to buy a paid plan to have a custom domain here. You only need to upgrade to a paid plan if you need the features of that plan.

  One of the features of all of our paid plans is to allow users to set their custom domain as primary. If your custom domain is not primary, people will still end up at your site if they type your custom domain into the address bar.

  For more information, please visit:

  Thanks,
