  I bought akaHealthyLife.com via NameCheap and will use it with my Kartra landing page to promote my business; Kartra needs for me to use this primary domain, and not a subdomain.
  – I also want to create a WordPress blog and connect it with my Kartra landing page. I was informed the WordPress blog cannot be the primary domain (thus my need for a subdomain), so that I can connect Kartra with the blog.

  Question: do I need to buy this subdomain? (the ‘blog.akaHealthyLife.com’) I’m confused on the check-out page on WordPress.com

  TIA :-)

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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