  I’m thinking of upgrading to a Personal plan. If I do so, would the Personal plan allow me to map (I think this is the correct term) a domain name that I already own? Specifically, I want users to be able to go to my domain, and my WordPress site would appear.

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

  Hello
  Yes it will! As you already know you will need a paid plan. Paid plans come with a domain credit that you can use to either register a new domain or map an existing one! You can read more about this in:

  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.
