  Hi! I read everywhere that wordpress has a free plan if you already own a domain. However, when I type in my domain, the only options in the next step are paid plans (starting at $4/month & going up from there). Is there no free option anymore?

  Hi @saralaloo If you want an entirely free website, you’ll be using the free WPcom address (.wordpress.com or maybe .home.blog) that you register.

  If you want to use a custom domain that you registered at a domain registrar with that same free WPcom website, it requires upgrading to at least the Personal plan so you can use domain mapping: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/map-existing-domain/

  The Personal upgrade plan also removes all advertising from your site, gives you an additional 3GB of storage as well as direct access to support via LiveChat and email. Have a look at all the Personal Plan features at https://wordpress.com/pricing/ and https://wordpress.com/support/plan-features/

  Let us know if you have any other question about this..
