  Hi, I have registered the domain name ‘kevinssallynoggin.com’ but when I use WordPress it changes it to ‘https://kevinssallynoggin.wordpress.com/’ I am on the free plan.
  Do I need to be on a plan, and if so can it be any plan, to change this so that it shows as just as ‘kevinssallynoggin.com’
  Thanks

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hello @stkevinsns. You can own the domain kevinssallynoggin.com, but to set it as your primary address you need a paid plan. While you don’t, every request to kevinssallynoggin.com will be redirected to kevinssallynoggin.wordpress.com

  Hi Thanks for that.

  Does any paid plan work for this. eg the personal plan?

  Thanks

  Yes. All paid plans, personal included, allows you to use a custom domain.
