    Hey.

    I own a domain via Namecheap.

    I am able to redirect the domain via Namecheap to my free wordpress.com blog.

    However, the redirect only works with http://*insertowned.url*

    How could I get the redirect to also work with https://*insertowned.url* ? Is this not possible to do without paying 100€ or so per year?

    Sincerely,
    M

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

    Hi there!

    Forwarding a domain like this does not work as expected, and I’m not positive it will work with the https version. What you’ll want instead is to point the domain to WordPress.com nameservers or IP addresses and add a Domain Connection on our side. Domain Connection is included with all WordPress.com plans. You don’t necessarily need the 100 Euro plan. You can do so with the Personal plan as well.

    Once you’ve upgraded, you can follow the instructions here to add a domain connection and point the domain to your WordPress.com site:

    WP
    Domains » Connect a Domain

    If you already own a domain name with another provider, you can use that domain with your WordPress.com site. Once you complete the steps below, instead of your site address being something like yourgroovysite.wordpress.com, your site’s address will be something like yourgroovydomain.com. Follow the steps in this guide to keep your domain registered with your current provider and use it to show

    Are there any specific features you need on your site? While the WordPress.com Personal plan is a great starting point, you get more features with the higher plans. We’d love to learn more about your site so we can suggest the best plan for you. Feel free to tell us more about your site.

    Thanks!
