  This probably sounds like a really stupid question, but I want to make sure I do this right so I don’t end up wasting money.

  I want to close my old website, and make a wordpress site into my new portfolio site. The problem is, a lot of people have my e-mail address which is tied to my previous, quite expensive web hosting. What I would like to do, is stop having my current website hosted by my current provider, and then move to having it hosted by wordpress. Then, I will use Zoho mail to use my current e-mail address.

  When I buy ‘domain mapping’ does that mean that wordpress is hosting the site, and my old hosting ends, or does it just mean that I’m being allowed to use the domain that I already have, which I would also have to keep paying for?

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