  Hi, I see you offer free websites. I already have a hosting plan and a domain with Afrihost. Am I able to use your site for the website but keep my hosting plan and domain through afrihost ?

  Hello @shaaziasoomar,

  Yes it is possible to have your site here on WordPress.com, if you are willing to make a domain mapping purchase here at WordPress.com. The below mentioned support page link should help you understand all things domain mapping:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  If you want to install your own copy with your host, their support may be able to help you find the best way to get started on their servers. Or there’s a whole support site with forums for self-hosted, self-managed sites here:
  https://wordpress.org/support/

  Here’s the difference between running your own copy and using our managed service:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Hope this was of help.
