  I currently have a .com that is hosted through dreamhost, but the site has finished now. I don’t want to just delete it so I’ve set up a free wordpress site to act as an archive.

  However, I now want to cancel my hosting through dreamhost and have the .com redirect to the wordpress site. I really don’t want to have to pay for it (one of the main reasons I’m doing this whole thing is I can’t afford the hosting). Can anyone tell me if this is possible and what I need to do?

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

  Hi,

  here it is a paid upgrade to use your own .com domain name and redirect it to a WordPress.com site. See: http://store.wordpress.com/premium-upgrades/redirect/

  I don’t think there’s a free alternative to do that.

  Cheers. $13 a year doesn’t seem too bad I suppose.
