  Hello,

  My wordpress account is currently hosted by Bluehost and my first year plan is about to expire. The price to renew my hosting is far too high (~$150 per year) as I don’t use any of their services with the exception of posting blog posts onto WordPress.

  Is there a way for me to keep my domain (sewonpatches.net) while having another place host my blog, for e.g., wordpress.com itself?

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

  You will need to set up Domain Mapping to use your domain with your WordPress.com site:

  Domain Mapping is included with all of the WordPress.com Plans:
