  Hi there,

  You can map your domain to your WordPress.com site following this guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  However if you are on a free account here at WordPress.com you will need to upgrade to either a Personal, Premium or Business plan in order to map your domain to your WordPress.com site.

  Thank you for your help Henriette,
  It is apparent that there is no way to do it unless i upgrade from a free account.

  Yes, if you want add custom domain to your site you must be under any of the paid plans.

  Hope this helps.

  Thank you @shubhanmgmath . There is a way i found yesterday to redirect wp.com free account to another domain i own. You can purchase a redirect subscription for 13$/year through wordpress.com, which is a really good deal. I will only need to use it for a year so i can cancel the subscription afterward. No paid plan required.
