How much it cost a domain?
-
Hi, I am trying to open a new domain and I am very confused. The website states that I can open a domain for 8 dollars a month but when I go through the process is asking to pay £85.00.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi @javigima – All upgrades on WordPress.com are billed in full for the annual amount at the time of purchase. I know that the screen shows you the monthly fee, but you will have to pay the yearly amount with one of the accepted payment methods listed here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/payment/
Let me know if you have any more questions about this.

Thanks for the reply!
I understand that the payment is a yearly payment but 8 dollars at month are 96 dollars at year which is around £40.00 a year. What I find odd is that wordpress states £85 instead which is around 16 dollars at month.

Do you have any upgrades on your account already? Can you double check your shopping cart and see if there are duplicate items in there?
As a volunteer I am not able to see any account upgrades or details for you so I have tagged this thread ‘modlook’ to notify staff that you need help. They will contact you here in the next day or so. Thanks in advance for your patience.

Hi again,
I have a free blog which I would like to convert into a website. The blog in http://www.javigima.wordpress.com and the domain I tried to purchase is http://www.historywritings.com.
I guess my question is how much it cost yearly to have this domain?
Many thanks

Hi,
I went through the process and initially states that is 8.25 dollars per month, but once I have chosen my domain states that the price is £7.08 per month, which is double the price.
Could you please let me know why is that?
Thanks

Due to taxes and fluctuating exchange rates, our US prices do not exactly translate to what non-US users will pay.
What is the URL of the page where you are seeing the $8.25 price?

Hi, the URL would be http://www.historywritings.com . If you enter the link below the website states 8.25 dollars at month which would be around £70.00 a year. However, if you go through the process to obtain the domain, the system states £85.00.

Even with exchange rates, I find it difficult to believe that the price goes up more than 20%.
If someone could explain me this please. I hope it is a mistake. It would not be honest to advertise a price that does not reflect the true price of the domain.
Many thanks

I’m afraid that the issue is what I mentioned before. If you are a non-US user, WordPress.com prices in USD will not directly translate to your local currency.
