  Hi — I’d like this wordpress site to remain ‘erinschultz.com’ — if I transfer the domain to wordpress, will it appear as ‘erinschultzcom.wordpress.com’? The domain is currently under register.com. Please advise the best way of going about this. Thx — Erin

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

  WordPress.com provides free blogs and hosts them free of charge. There are no bandwidth charges. All WordPress.com blogs come with 3000 megabytes (~3 GBs) of space for storing uploaded files and images. Free features are listed here https://en.wordpress.com/features/

  We have 4 different plans: free, personal, premium and business. All hosting is free regardless of which plan you choose. You can view all wordpress.com plan features here https://wordpress.com/pricing/ Add a plan for each of your sites here: http://store.wordpress.com/plans/.

  We don’t currently support incoming domain transfers to WordPress.com. Instead, the domain can be ‘mapped’ to your WordPress.com site with domain mapping:

  You will need an upgraded WordPress.com plan, such as the Personal plan. Each paid plan includes a free domain credit which you can use to map a domain you already own (or register a new one).

  You can use the Personal Plan, yes, but you need to add the plan first. If you add the domain first, Premium is selected automatically.

  Go to My Site ->Plans and buy the Personal Plan, and then you can go back and claim your free domain at My Site ->Domains ->Add.
