  Does this mean that I move my site to WordPress and pay for it through WP, but pay for the annual domain name through my original provider?

  Hi there!

  Yep, that’s exactly what it means. You’ll point the nameservers to WordPress.com, but manage and pay for your domain through your current provider.

  You can read more about that, including instructions to get started with domain mapping, here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  Alternatively, you can transfer your domain to WordPress.com and manage everything in one place: https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/

  Hope this helps! 🙂
