    Hi there,

    So, if you have a domain you want to use at WordPress.com that you have hosted elsewhere, you do indeed have the option to map or transfer that domain.

    First, whether you map or transfer your existing domain, you will need to purchase a WordPress.com plan.
    https://wordpress.com/pricing/ [2][3]

    The biggest factors to consider would be who you want to host your domain, how much your domain host currently costs compared to the domain + plans packages we offer here, and whether or not you want to host your domain and site at the same place.

    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). [2] [3]

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

    For more information about the domain, please visit our support page:

    Hope this answers your queries.

    Thanks

    Hi @monilijewellers,

    Please find the answers to your questions down below:

    1. If you prefer to keep your domain registered with your current provider, you can use it with your WordPress.com site by domain mapping.
    Read more on this at the link down below:
    https://wordpress.com/support/domains/map-existing-domain/

    2. WordPress offers paid plans that are listed at the link down below:
    https://wordpress.com/pricing/

    All plans with the exception of Free Plan offers a free domain for 1 year and thereafter the standard renewal charges.

    To know about the things that are included in each plan go through the pricing link above.

    3. All plans except Free plan include hosting and domain.

    Best :)
