  Hello,
  I have my own domain built with wordpress and hosted by ‘Blue host’ but they raised the price 5 times more than what I had originally agreed and cannot afford hosting with them.
  I would like to move my domain with a free hosting with wordpress for a couple of months until I can upgrade for a paid host plan and stay with wordpress.
  How do I register free hosting with wordpress and move my domain on this hosting plan ?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  Hi there,

  I understand that you’re looking to move your domain to a free WordPress.com hosting plan. Unfortunately, custom domains are not supported on our free plan. Those sites must use the free “wordpress.com” address and show ads to help cover our costs. However, we have a low-cost option, the Personal plan, which allows you to connect your custom domain and will also turn off all advertising:

  I’m not sure what your costs are with your current provider but typically the personal plan is a savings when compared to other hosting fees. If you would like to tell us more about your site we’re happy to take a look and confirm that this plan will be the best fit for your needs.

  Thanks for the additional info!
