  WordPress.com advertises a service to add a domain mapping quoted at $13/year if you already own a domain, here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  I try to follow the instructions at: https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  …and end up almost purchasing a $99 premium subscription. Which was a bit of a shocker…

  How do I just buy the mapping? Is it a discontinued service or am I missing something fundamental?

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

  Nope:

  Adding additional domains you already own costs $13.00 per domain, per year.

  Adding a domain to your site (either registering a new domain or mapping one you already own) requires a WordPress.com plan. Each plan comes with one free domain credit. However, you can setup additional domains on the same site as add-on upgrades.

  And you can buy the Personal, Premium or Business plan for do that:
