  Hello! I purchased a domain through Maddog and I am now trying to connect my personal domain to wordpress. Is this possible? I am under the impression that it should be a free plan and the domain address would not include the wordpress.com aspect.

  Thanks for your time.

  Hi there!

  Yes it is!

  You will need to set up domain mapping on your WordPress.com site. To set up domain mapping, you will need to purchase an upgraded WordPress.com plan.

  If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

  Thanks! Is this upgraded charge a new thing with wordpress? I believe my friend was able to use her domain address without wordpress.com at the end of it and it was free of charge.

  My pleasure! I don’t believe that domain mapping was ever free at WordPress.com.

  Alright! In that case, do I need to purchase the $99 premium upgrade in order to map my personal domain? Or can I purchase the $2.99/month plan?

  Thanks in advance again!

  You can purchase the Personal Plan ($2.99/ month) and setup domain mapping on it. Every paid plan comes with a domain credit that you can use to register a new domain or map an existing one that you already own.
