linking domain name to wordpress
-
I have bought my domain name and am trying to link it to wordpress. I am following all the processes listed but it is saying that I need to pay wordpress to do this. Is this correct? I have already bought my domain name off go daddy.com
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The subscription for domain mapping an existing domain is $13.00 per year per blog. And you need to have an underlying .wordpress.com blog URL to domain map from to the domain URL.
You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog and purchase upgrades for it.
If you would like to use your domain name purchased elsewhere and map from your free hosted wordpress.com blog to it, then you will first need to set up domain mapping by following these steps. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
After you make the domain mapping purchase here > Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades and 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.

I’ve changed the nameservers on go daddy.com, I just didn’t think I’d then have to pay wordpress to use my domain name as well. It’s more expensive than buying the domain name in the first place!

If you do not wish to purchase an upgrade to map to your existing domain from your free hosted WordPress.com blog then don’t do it. However, do know that forwarding and masking is unreliable and we don’t offer any support for it. Domain mapping is reliable and we do provide support for blogs with domain mapping upgrades.

If i was to upgrade to premium for $99 this would be included, but would it also include the premium themes or would you have to pay for them on top of that?
