  What does it cost to have a standalone website designed in WordPress.

  I.e. We want to remove WordPress from our website address.

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

  For clarity, a stand alone wordpress site is a self hosted wordpress.ORG software install. It is not a wordpress.com hosted blog.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page

  WordPress.COM is a turnkey operation with off the shelf themes limited to these selections only https://wordpress.com/themes/

  There is no FTP access and no blogger installed plugin capability on any free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and there is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes those realities.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

  If you are prepared to accept the limitations of wordpress.COM hosting stated here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ then note what follows.

  See here for details on purchasing the annually renewable Premium bundle http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/ that contains a domain mapping upgrade and a custom design upgrade required for CSS editing:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/editing-css/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-fonts/

  All that changes when you are domain mapping is the URL and nothing else. The content stays exactly where it is. What domain mapping does its create a seamless transfer between the underlying .wordpress.com blog URLs to the domain URLs no matter where they are on the internet. Visitors who click the underlying .wordpress.com blog URLs will be seamlessly redirected to the exact same content under the domain URLs.

  Please read Domains: Important Notes Before Upgrading http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

  In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain blog to map from, and the domain name you desire must be available for purchase, or you must already own the domain URL.

  See here if you do not own a domain
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
  http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/register-domain/

  See here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  if you already have a website you don’t want to affect, and you want to add a blog to it under a subdomain (for example, blog.yourgroovydomain.com) see here http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-subdomain/

  Your payment methods are here https://en.support.wordpress.com/payment/

  Your upgrade history will be here Dashboard > Store> My Upgrades
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/my-upgrades/

  Your billing history will be at Dashboard > Store > Billing History
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/billing-history/

  After you do the primary blog set up it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
