  I have a domain name already (with Namecheap) and want to design a website through WordPress and then have it managed by Namecheap. Is this domain mapping?

  Domain mapping would be if you created a site with a paid plan here at WordPress.com and mapped your domain to that site.
  If you want domain and site to both be at/managed by Namecheap you’d need to create a site using the WordPress.org software there.

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Hi there!

  Domain mapping will allow you to use a domain registered elsewhere (like Namecheap) with your WordPress.com site so, from what you’re saying that’s what you’re looking for :)

  Here’s more information about it:

  If you did indeed wish to create a site here at WordPress.com using your Namecheap domain then I’m sure this is the link staff-mckluskey meant to share with you: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
