I already own a domain
-
When did it suddenly get so expensive to use my .com through WordPress and why do I have to get a business package now? I used an owned domain in the spring and upgraded with a Personal package last spring and it was so much cheaper?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

There are 3 ways to add a custom domain to your blog. Please note that an active WordPress.com plan is required to add a custom domain to your site. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#getting-started
WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible. http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/ The domain or mapping of any existing domain URL is included in the pricing for a personal upgrade, a premium and a business upgrade. The WordPress.COM upgrade for mapping a domain must be renewed annually.
Stand alone upgrades for domains were discontinued over a year ago. You have to register a plan and the lowest cost plan is the Personal plan.
You can use the Personal Plan if all you want is a custom domain, removal of advertising, live chat support and 6GB Storage Space but you need to add the plan first. If you add the domain first, Premium is selected automatically.
Go to http://wordpress.com/pricing to upgrade.

Hi there,
You do not need to upgrade to the Business Plan. You can still purchase the Personal Plan if you want to map a domain. Go to My Site ->Plans and you can select the plan you want from there. Then you can add the domain from My Site ->Domains afterwards.
