Domain mapping
-
Hi. I need to map my domain (that I already had) to my wordpress website. I tried to do this and it says I need to pay 99€ for the mapping for one year. I just want to make sure I really need to pay this amount. I had my domain mapped to wordpress, but I guess I have to renew it every year? Is the price always 99€?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can purchase a personal plan instead.
WordPress.com provides free blogs and hosts them free of charge. There are no bandwidth charges. All WordPress.com blogs come with 3000 megabytes (~3 GBs) of space for storing uploaded files and images. Free features are listed here https://en.wordpress.com/features/
We have 4 different plans: free, personal, premium and business. All hosting is free regardless of which plan you choose. You can view all wordpress.com plan features here https://wordpress.com/pricing/ Add a plan for each of your sites here: http://store.wordpress.com/plans/.
How domain mapping works
Registering an underlying .wordpress.com URL first is required for domain mapping. What domain mapping does is providing a seamless redirect to the very same content under the new domain URL when a person clicks the old URL .wordpress.com to the original content. It can take up to 72 hours for domain propagation to take place throughout the internet but it doesn’t usually take that long. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/Please go to https://wordpress.com/pricing/ to upgrade.
If you have any difficulties see what Staff said here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/custom-domain-89?replies=6#post-2882612
You can use the Personal Plan, yes, but you need to add the plan first. If you add the domain first, Premium is selected automatically.Go to My Site ->Plans and buy the Personal Plan, and then you can go back and claim your free domain at My Site ->Domains ->Add.

Hi there,
And the Personal Plan is an annual subscription as well?
It is, yes. As timethief mentioned, add the Personal plan to your cart before domain mapping.
In case you haven’t already seen it, we have a guide to setting up domain mapping here:

Let me know if you have any problems.
