  All I want to know is how to get my wordpress site (eve0007.word.press.com) to change to my purchased crazy domains domain (maisieeverett.com).

  I heard that you have to pay $13, however is there another way around this? I’ll pay it if there’s no other option, but I’ve read forums where you can do it without paying the fee. (I just need more information)

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

  No. There is no way around the fact that WordPress.COM will not domain map free of charge.

  Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgrading

  You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard at > Store > My Upgrades.

  In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from and the domain name you desire must be available for purchase, or you must already own the domain URL.

  As you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog.

  See here if you already own a domain http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

  I have answered questions here along with raincoaster for 8 years ie. years longer than most Staff have even been on staff and that’s simply untrue.

  Thankyou for your help. I’ll just pay the fee as it seems to be the only way…

  Cheers!

  Last question-

  Is there any way to disable auto renewal before I purchase it? As paypal is asking me to enter credit card details (I don’t even have a credit card)
