  Hey there,

  Hosting your site with WordPress.com is free. However, you can no longer register or map a domain individually with WordPress.com. Domain subscriptions can be purchased as a part of one of our many plans here. This recent domains with plans only update was made as we continue to work diligently to provide the best WordPress.com experience for both users who choose to purchase a plan as well as those who choose the free plan.

  Our personal plan is a great option for those who primarily want to register a domain with us. In addition to the domain subscriptions, you also get no ads on your site and access to live chat support with our wonderful Happiness Engineers.

  Thanks!
