  Hi there!

  It all really depends on you, although we would recommend registering your domain here, on WordPress.com.

  Any of those options will require a paid WordPress.com plan, but the price of the domain registered here is included in the plan during the first year. That means you will only start paying for the domain registration from the second year.

  You won’t have to worry about SSL (it’s included), or going elsewhere to manage anything domain-related. You’ll also be able to access our support.

  Here you can find more information: https://wordpress.com/support/domain-mapping-vs-domain-transfer/.
