  How much is the price per year? Cannot find info on paid-upgrades.php page. What is mapping means? Please, answer in Russian better, cause of my bad English, but if not – also welcomed.

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

  Thank you! So, mapping=hosting? With site templates or?

  No.

  Mapping simply connects your custom domain to a blog you have here. You have to already have it and you do http://andybelski.wordpress.com/. It is already hosted, for free. Buy the mapping upgrade to connect the URL with that blog.

  This has nothing to do with templates. You can ONLY use the ones on the dashboard of that blog, on the Themes page. You cannot upload external themes to a WordPress.com blog.

  Each upgrade here applies only exactly to what it says it does. Domain mapping simply maps your domain, it doesn’t exempt you from any of the other conditions of being hosted here.

  Domain Mapping just changes the blog address (adds a second domain name to a blog, since the old URL (Address) will still keep working.

  Same rules apply, you are still hosted here, same Terms of Service, same themes here – you can’t upload you own theme.
