  I have three sites with WordPress. However, I am trying to connect a domain that I bought through GoDaddy and it says it’s too early, but then connects me to a page where I can do it anyway. However, it keeps asking me the same questions: What is your site about etc. I just want to get the site started now. I have a deadline and I am desperate for help. Anyone-please?
  Thanks,
  Didi

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

  Hi there,

  You need to purchase an upgraded plan. If your enter the domain URL first Premium will be automatically selected for you.

  WordPress.com provides free blogs and hosts them free of charge. There are no bandwidth charges.

  We have 4 different plans: free, personal, premium and business. All hosting is free regardless of which plan you choose. You can view all wordpress.com plan features here https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  How domain mapping works

  Registering an underlying .wordpress.com URL first is required for domain mapping. That underlying URL does not have to match the domain URL when you are domain mapping.

  What domain mapping does is providing a seamless redirect to the very same content under the new domain URL when a person clicks the old URL .wordpress.com to the original content. It can take up to 72 hours for domain propagation to take place throughout the internet but it doesn’t usually take that long. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  There are 3 ways to add a custom domain to your blog. Please note that an active WordPress.com plan is required to add a custom domain to your site. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#getting-started

  Map an existing domain http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

  The domain or mapping of any existing domain URL is included in the pricing for a personal upgrade, a premium and a business upgrade. The WordPress.COM upgrade for mapping a domain must be renewed annually.
