  I have my existing custom domain. Can I use the free account to map my domain?

  Hi there,

  In order to use your domain hosted elsewhere with your WordPress.com site, you’ll need to change the domain nameservers at your domain host, and point them over to WordPress.com. Our nameservers are:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  Then, you’ll need to purchase the mapping subscription upgrade so that you can map your domain over to your WordPress.com site.

  For instructions on both processes, please visit our support page:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!

  Thanks for help.
  1) What are the fees for mapping the domain or you can provide link for all subscription fees.
  2) Can I use a gmail account for the email account. I have not purchased email subscription.

  Hi there,

  You can find our plan options here:

  You can use whatever email you prefer. You can use a current free email address you own, or if you want to match it with your custom domain, you can purchase a custom email. More information on that here:

  Add an email address to your domain name

  Thanks!
