  I want to build a website, but I can’t get past the first page, as it is telling me that my domain name is already being used. I don’t understand, as I pay for this domain name, and it is paid up until November, 2019. Then it will be renewed automatically.
  How am I supposed to continue. I am very worried.

  Hey there – what is the URL for this domain? Is it perhaps already associated with another website of yours?

  Hi Lesley,

  It sounds like you may be wanting to use a domain bought outside of WordPress.com with your site here. If that’s the case see our guide to mapping a domain you already own:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  If you’ve already used the domain with another WordPress.com account let us know the domain and we’ll take a look.

  Cheers!
