  Is it possible for a WordPress site in free edition not to have a mysitename.wordpress.com but a mysitename.gr (lets say). Domain name (.gr) is available from another provider. Thank you

  Hi –

  Please mark the other threads you created as ‘resolved’ that way all communication will stay in one place.

  All of the free domains here at WordPress.com look like mysitename.wordpress.com , if you want to eliminate the .wordpress portion you would need to upgrade to a custom domain, which starts at $18 annually. If you purchase the domain elsewhere, but wish to use it here at WordPress.com you will need to complete Domain Mapping, which is an annual fee of $13. Each year, you would need to renew your domain through the registrar and the Domain Mapping through WordPress.com.

  Hi –

  That is correct. You just need to complete Domain Mapping in order to use your custom domain here at WordPress.com. Were you able to complete the Domain Mapping?

  You will need to renew your domain through your registrar yearly.
