New to wordpress
-
Hi, I’m trying to get a website started on WordPress and just need a holding page initially with contact details on. I’ve chosen the basic ‘free’ create a website option, and as I already have a domain name, it’s telling me I can either transfer my exiting domain name to WordPress, or buy domain mapping. It seems whichever option I pick it then takes me to a plan option, and the free site option is ruled out which seems a bit of a swiz. Is this right or have I misunderstood something? Sorry I’m sure this is basic stuff but I’m new to wordpress, any help would be much appreciated! :)

Hi –
No worries. I’m happy to help you get started. Yes, you can set up a basic landing page on a free site with WordPress.com. Those sites are the one that end with .wordpress.com.
If you want to connect a custom domain to the free site then you would need a plan upgrade. Any plan will do the job. Those are at wordpress.com/pricing/ All of those include the option to bring that custom domain over, either through transfer or mapping, and it’s at no extra fee. The plan covers that domain.
Here are some other guides that can be quite helpful:
