  Hi<

  So i got a domain and website from 123reg,

  when i wanted to log in to word press it doesnt work. I am assuming i need to connect the website to wordpress itself.

  However when i go into the connect options, its getting me to pay to connect or connect for free modifying my URL? is that how it is? i cant connect the website and domain i own without paying ?

  Self-declared URL: therealspirituality.com
  Jetpack: Unknown
  WP.com: Unknown

  Hi there,

  Connecting your domain to a WordPress.com site does require a plan. This is because domain registration and website hosting are two separate aspects. Your domain is like your address on the internet, which you’ve registered through 123reg. On the other hand, hosting is where your website’s files and data are stored, and that’s what we provide at WordPress.com.

  In order to use your domain with a site hosted on WordPress.com, you would need to select one of our paid plans. These plans offer various features including the ability to connect a domain you own.

  If you have any more questions or need further clarification, please don’t hesitate to ask. We’re here to help.
