  I just purchased a premium plan. The description said that it included a custom domain name. How do I create and register my custom domain name without having to pay the extra $18 since I already purchased the Premium plan?

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

  Hey there!

  If you follow the link below, click ‘Register a New Domain Name’ and follow through the process. Usually this would cost $18, but is free as part of your WordPress Premium package.

  You can view and manage your upgrades at any time by going to Store > My Upgrades in your WordPress.com dashboard.

  All the best!

  Thanks for your help with this! One more thing. I was able to get my custom domain name as part of my domain name bundle. However, how do I now make it a private registration?

  It looks like you’ve already got Domain Privacy enabled. You can confirm this through the Domain Manager here:

  Click on “Edit Domain”. On the first tab “Domain Contact”, you’ll see greyed out information listing Domains By Proxy as the contact for your domain.

  Let me know if you have any more questions!
