Mapping of own Domain
-
I purchased a domain when I was using Weebly. It is expiring next year, but I would like to map my site on WordPress with that domain. I saw there are different packages while I am following the steps. It was written 13$ but following the step, it is written 99$ saying I need to upgrade to premium package. I have already had a domain already, why should I pay to get the free domain? And personal package also includes the free domain. Why should I default to purchase premium package? Is it necessary to purchase premium package for mapping? Or there is another option which is more appropriate for my case?

Hi, @octoberfourteenth.
You can have free WordPress plan using an address such as yourdomain.wordpress.com. But if you want to map a domain you already own you will need an upgraded plan, at least the Personal Plan. You can see the differences between each plan here: https://wordpress.com/pricing/
Once you subscribe to a plan you will have a credit that you can use to map your domain. Here is step-by-step to map your domain: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/.
Hope that helps. Let me know if you still have any question.

Hi octoberfourteenth,
Just adding on to what @guicmazeredo said, domain mapping is available with the Personal Plan, but you need to add the plan first or else it will automatically select the Premium Plan as you described.
