  The thing in the domain manager says: You can add the domain zachnelson.name to your blog right now. You can use it as your blog address for 10 credits a year. You have 0 credits available.

  I already own the domain, the name servers are set.

  Do I have to pay the 10 credits just to put my domain on here?

  That’s correct (I have done the same thing.)

  So, I have to pay $10 from godaddy to buy my domain and then I have to pay another $10 just so I can use it on wordpress?!

  Essentially yes. If you have chosen godaddy as the domain registrar. One thing I noticed is that, apparently, you can also register the domain name with wordpress for I believe only 5 dollars. So doing the whole thing with wordpress is less expensive.

  I hadn’t known that previously so I may change the registrar when it comes up next year. Hardly worth the hassle in the end though.

  A tenner for a year’s pretty inexpensive though really.

  I don’t have a spare $10, or a creditcard or bankaccount for paypal.

  This is ridiculous!

  It’s right in the FAQ.
