  Hello there,

  How I administrate my purchase domain with and existing blog

  You can connect your own domain name to your WordPress.com site through this path:

  My Site –> Upgrades –> Domains

  From here, you can click Add a Domain button on the upper right-hand side, and select Use a domain I own.

  Connecting your own domain name involves updating name servers or DNS, which needs to go through propagation. The process normally takes up to 72 hours to complete.

  You can find more information here: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/

  @nataliagaviriagarcia While you can purchase a domain without a plan, to have your domain be your primary domain, you need a paid plan. Otherwise, your domain will redirect to your free *.wordpress.com URL.

  Since you would get the first year domain for free with a yearly plan purchase, just let us know when you get that in place and we can refund the cost of the domain for you.

  Let us know if you have any questions or need help with anything else.
