  Hi, I want to point my domain http://www.ricepaperroll.com to my current blog ricepaperrollBlog.wordpress.com. Does the personal plan support this? If I buy a personal plan, and after 6 months, I wan to upgrade to Premium plan, how much money should I pay more? Will the money paid for Personal plan rolling up to Premium plan? Is there any difference in domain pointing feature between Personal Plan and Premium Plan?
  Please drop an email to (email visible only to moderators and staff).
  Thanks.

  Hi Hung, all paid plans come with a domain credit, so you’d be fine there, and there is no difference in the pointing feature.

  If you upgraded to premium later, you would receive a discount for the first year, though I’m not sure what the exact amount would be six month from now.

  Thanks SuperNovia.
  Probably it I go with Personal, keep it for a year and try to move to Premium in second year.

  @rollingfunricepaperroll sounds good. And if you want to see the pricing for upgrading at any given time, you can do that at https://wordpress.com/plans . If you have an existing plan, the current discount will show there. Cheers :)

  Hi,

  I entered my domain ricepaperroll.com in my Domain tab but the wordpress forces me to buy the premium package. There is no option for me to select the personal plan.
  What is the way to map my existing domain to a personal plan?
  Are these right steps?
  – upgrade to pesonal plan from free blog plan
  – ?
  – in my webhost domain, pointing Dns to wordexpress.
  -waiting for ? Days to get activated.
  Thanks
  Hung

  Hi, please try buying the Personal Plan here first:
  https://wordpress.com/plans

  Then use the domain credit to add your domain. Thanks!
