  I’m thinking about upgrading my wordpress from free to the basic which says it includes a free domain. When I type the domain I want, it’s available purchase for $18.00/year (and box to click that reads ‘buy now’)

  So, is it $2.99 a month(35.88 per year) plus the $18.00?

  or

  Is it $35.88?

  or

  Is it just $18.00
  Any help would be appreciated..thanks in advance

  Stand alone upgrades for $18 were discontinued last year. Now we select and purchase a plan and there are no monthly payment plans, nor have they ever existed.

  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/.

  Please go to https://wordpress.com/pricing/ to upgrade.

  If you have any difficulties see what Staff said here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/custom-domain-89?replies=6#post-2882612

  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.

  Thanks timethief but maybe I’m not being clear. The personal plan shows right on the page $2.99/month billed annually https://wordpress.com/pricing/. Then when I got to the pick the domain page https://wordpress.com/domains/ and type in a domain it will say if its available, and gives you a price (the one I picked said $18.00 per year for that domain name)

  Which brings me back to the original question. How much TOTAL annually will I pay for the personal plan and the domain?

  Because the first link says $2.99 per month billed annually( $35.88) the second link says $18.00 annually (for the domain name)

  A custom domain is included in the price of the Personal Plan, the final price is $35.88/year. When you get to the checkout screen you should be prompted to pay with the domain credits from the plan.

  There’s not a plan yet added to this account. You can do that from wordpress.com/pricing/

  I’ll leave this thread open until you’ve managed to add the domain and we can make sure you don’t run in to any trouble along the way.
