  There used to be a add on feature for blogs, to add a domain for something like $13 or $15 a year. When I tried to map a new domain, it is now adding a $99 fee for an upgraded account of some type. Is there a way to just add the domain without adding the $99 fee?

  This website is for a small non-profit agency, and if there is way to get around the $99/year I would sincerely appreciate it.

  Thanks!

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

  Hey there,

  You can no longer register or map a domain individually with WordPress.com. Moving forward, domain subscriptions can be purchased as a part of one of our many plans here. This recent domains with plans only update was made as we continue to work diligently to provide the best WordPress.com experience for both users who choose to purchase a plan as well as those who choose the free plan.

  You can get mapping included with the Personal Plan which is $36 a year. That will also include no ads on your site and access to live chat with our staff.

  If you look over the plans that we offer and do not think they are the best fit, purchasing and setting up a self-hosted WordPress.org site through reliable hosts such as Flywheel, Siteground, Pressable, and Bluehost is also a great option.

  Thanks!
