    I am thinking about upgrading to the ‘Personal’ package. I would like a custom domain name. The name that it is displaying on the left hand side of my cart is not the domain name that I want. If I go through with the purchase, will I be committed to that domain name?

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

    We have 4 different plans: free, personal, premium and business. All hosting is free regardless of which plan you choose. You can view all wordpress.com plan features here https://wordpress.com/pricing/ Add a plan for each of your sites here: http://store.wordpress.com/plans/.

    How domain mapping works
    Registering an underlying .wordpress.com URL is required for domain mapping. What domain mapping does is providing a seamless redirect to the very same content under the new domain URL when a person clicks the old URL .wordpress.com to the original content. It can take up to 72 hours for domain propagation to take place throughout the internet but it doesn’t usually take that long. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

    Please go to https://wordpress.com/pricing/ to upgrade.

    If you have any difficulties see what Staff said here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/custom-domain-89?replies=6#post-2882612

    You can use the Personal Plan, yes, but you need to add the plan first. If you add the domain first, Premium is selected automatically.

    Go to My Site ->Plans and buy the Personal Plan, and then you can go back and claim your free domain at My Site ->Domains ->Add.
