  Please post an active link starting with http:// to the .wordpress.com blog you are asking about. If you purchase a bundle then you are purchasing a domain mapping upgrade and your blog can still be free hosted here at WordPress.com

  thanks for the reply!

  i’m asking about http://xtraperformance.wordpress.com

  i want to purchase a domain name and transfer it to that new name (ie. http://www.xtraperformance.com). so my question is if I just purchase the value bundle (which includes a new domain name) does it also have the hosting included or do I need to get another hosting service seperately?

  hopefully this is more clear. thanks!

  Hosting at WordPress.com is free. It’s free whether you buy the upgrades or not.

  Note that purchasing upgrades doesn’t exempt you from the terms of service or any of the limitations not specifically mentioned in the upgrade. You can’t run ads, for instance, or host raw flash files. Or do ecommerce.

  Yes, when purchasing a domain mapping upgrade from WordPress.com and mapping an existing domain your blog can still be free hosted here at WordPress.com
