  For using my domain that I registered somewhere else, if I want to map it to my wordpress website, why am I required to buy a WordPress.com Premium – annual subscription? I simply want to map my existing domain to my wordpress website, nothing more.

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

  Hi there,

  The domain mapping upgrade is part of all the WordPress.com plans and therefore you need to purchase one if you want to map a domain.

  If you don’t want to purchase the Premium plan, you can purchase the Personal which is more affordable.

  Here is the Plans page where you can select the plan you want:

  If you have any other questions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help.

  Thank you for the reply. I was not aware that a Personal Plan would allow for domain mapping as well. When I went to the wordpress admin site, specifically: My Site > Domains > Add Domains > Already Own a Domain > Transfer to WordPress.com > Payment Method, rather than it allowing me to choose my plan, it automatically selected the Premium Plan, which made things kind of confusing.

  Nonetheless, I am glad that my question was answered. If there are any other questions that I may have I will let you know.

  Hi thebiosa,

  Trying adding the Personal plan from the Plans page first, then add domain mapping from My Sites > Domains > Add Domain. You should then see the Personal plan in your cart instead.
