  Hi,
  I already have a website and I want to create blog site in wordpress. I wanted to understand which wordpress account should I go for? (premium feature or sub-domain feature).
  Also I wanted to understand pricing for sub-domain. It says ‘Mapping a subdomain with the Domain Mapping Upgrade costs $13.00 per subdomain, per blog, per year.’ Can you help me undrestand pricing?

  Thanks,
  Bijendra

  As the support document you read says:

  If you already have a website (yourgroovydomain.com) and you have a WordPress.com blog at, say, example.wordpress.com, you can put your blog in a subdomain of your main website, such as blog.yourgroovydomain.com.

  This means your visitors will type blog.yourgroovydomain.com in the browser’s address bar and end up on example.wordpress.com site. The browser’s address bar shows blog.yourgroovydomain.com but example.wordpress.com site will be served.

  Note that there are two fees involved in domain mapping.

  [1] The fee you pay to your domain’s registrar. i.e. from whom you bought yourgroovydomain.com address.

  [2] The fee you pay to WordPress.com for mapping sub-domain. So WordPress.com will let you access example.wordpress.com site when you type blog.yourgroovydomain.com address in the browser.

  So if you haven’t already purchased a domain name, it is a good idea to it from WordPress.com so you will just pay one fee. In this case your registrar will be WordPress.com.

  This fee is per blog, per year. This means one upgrade is applicable only for one blog and you will have renew the upgrade annually.

  Here is the comparison of three plans available on WordPress.com: https://wordpress.com/plans/compare
