  I have taken the domain – grassroute.org – and chose WordPress to host it. But still I can’t see that domain here. Instead I see another domain – grassrouteorg.wordpress.com. How did this happen? I want grassroute.org and not grassrouteorg.wordpress.com. Please tell me how to fix this.

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Your domain http://grassroute.org/ is going nowhere as it has been parked by Godaddy.
  if you want to use your domain grasroute.org on the wordpress.com platform, you need a paid plan – https://wordpress.com/pricing/ – together with Domain Connection, https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/connect-existing-domain/

  Hi @mainframedown,

  As @staartmees noted, you’ll need a paid plan to connect your domain to WordPress.com. With a plan upgrade, you can connect an existing domain to WordPress.com, as well as remove ads.

  It’s worth noting that a new annual plan purchase includes a one-year free domain registration. You can use this to transfer your domain to WordPress.com, extending its expiry by a year.

  If you’re interested in that, you can review plan pricing and features here: https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  I hope that helps and please reach out again if you have any further questions.
