    Hi there!

    I see that you paid only for a domain without a WordPress.com plan. You own the domain, but it will redirect to the WordPress.com address because a WordPress.com plan is needed to be able to set a domain as the primary address on a WordPress.com site.

    If you’re building a personal website/blog, you may get started with the WordPress.com Personal plan, which lets you set a custom domain as the primary address and removes ads.

    You can review other WordPress.com plans if you’re interested in more features. Feel free to tell us more about your overall plans with your website/blog. We’ll be happy to suggest more according to your needs. :)

    Once you’ve upgraded, follow the steps here to set your domain as the primary address:

    Your primary site address is the domain that people will see in their browser’s address bar when they visit your site. It is the address you use to promote your website. With a WordPress.com plan, you can set a custom domain as the primary site address. Without a paid plan, all custom domain(s) on the site will automatically redirect to your free .wordpress.com or .wpcomstaging.com site address

    If you choose the yearly billing, you get a free domain credit for the first year. Since you already paid for the domain, we can refund this amount after you’ve upgraded to a yearly WordPress.com plan. Simply let us know after upgrading and we’ll take care of the rest.

    Feel free to let us know if there’s anything else you need and we’ll be happy to help.
