  I have a wordpress.com site set up. If I purchase a personal plan, for 2.99 a month, how do I get a custom domain name? Is the cost of the custom domain name extra or is it included in the $2.99 per month

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

  Hello @goodbodygarden
  Every paid WordPress.COM plan comes with a free custom domain credit which you can use to register a domain like example.com

  So no, you do not have to pay extra for registering a domain once you have upgraded to the personal plan.

  However, i must inform you that even tough the prices given are monthly, we are billed annually.

  Meaning, we have to pay the total annual amount of a plan upfront at the time of the purchase. Currently, there is no monthly payment option on WordPress.COM

  Hope this helps 🙂

  See this support page for the steps to follow with registering a custom domain name: https://en.support.wordpress.com/register-domain/

  The cost of the domain is included in the plan.
