  Is there an option to go live with my wordpress.com subdomain? What are the fees for that?

  WordPress.com will host your free site https://southeasttexasaca.wordpress.com/ for free. You just need to launch it.

  Hi there,

  If you want your site to be publicly accessible, you must launch it from
  My Site>Manage >Settings and select Launch Site.

  Please refer to the following documentation to do so:
  https://wordpress.com/support/settings/privacy-settings/#launch-your-site

  After clicking the “Launch site” button, when you reach the page where you’re prompted to pick a domain, just type anything in the domain search field and you’ll see a “skip the domain purchase” at the bottom.

  Let me know if it works. :)

  Do I have to have a paid plan for my site to be visible by everyone? I made my site with an understanding it would be visible to everyone. If it is do-able, how do I make it happen? Thanks. Jim B

  Hi @jbeerstecher, it looks like you have a few threads open on this. I’m going to merge them together for you then respond.

  OK, I’ve merged all of your requests into this thread.

  Please click here. It will offer a domain. Just scroll to the bottom and choose your free site address and skip purchases.

  If you are offered a plan, you can choose the free plan too, or upgrade to get rid of ads & have more space (plus the possibility of adding a domain.)

  Once all of that is done, be sure any links you’re sharing start with southeasttexasaca.wordpress.com (sometimes people link to their edit pages instead) and you should be good to go.

  If you need more help with launching, can you please reply to this thread so all of the relevant information is in one place? Thanks!
