    Hi there,

    Do i have to pay for a WordPress plan to be able to use my own domain name from my own hosting company on my WordPress account? As far as I can remember it always used to be free, now it seems WordPress wants me to pay for a yearly plan anyway. Or am I missing something/doing something wrong?

    Hi there,

    As I understood, you already have a domain name and want to use it with WordPress.com. Right?

    Yes, you need a WordPress.com upgraded plan on your site (such as a Personal, Premium or Business plan, etc.) in order to use your domain with WordPress.com.

    Read more on how to use a domain you already own on WordPress.com (domain mapping): https://wordpress.com/support/domains/map-existing-domain

    As far as I can remember it always used to be free

    I am afraid domain mapping is not free on WordPress.com. You must have a WordPress.com upgraded plan to use domain mapping.

    Let me know if you have any more questions, comments, or concerns. 🙂
