  I want to know if I upgrade to a custom domain name,will it still be mandatory for the readers to be a wordpress user to enable them to follow like and comment in my blog?

  Hello @dishanisen,
  If your followers are following your blog using the Follow button.

  They can either subscribe to your blog by just providing the email address(not signup required here) or they can create a new account and follow the blog so that they can receive updates on their WordPress.COM reader and email(depending on their settings. Signup is required there) regardless whether you upgrade or dont.

  More information can be found here:

  Hope this helps 🙂
