  Hi there,

  There are two ways you go by it. Whether you map or transfer your existing domain, you will need to purchase a WordPress.com plan. The difference is who you want to host your domain. If you transfer the domain to WordPress.com, we’ll manage the domain. You’ll pay for the mapping and the plan here (domain is included within the plan price for the first year).

  But, if you keep the domain at your current host and map the domain to WordPress.com, you current host will continue to manage the domain and you’ll need to pay them for hosting your domain.

  The biggest factors to consider would be how much your domain host cost at SiteGround and whether or not you want to host your domain and site at the same place.
  Have a look at our plan pricing:
