    Hi! Glad you asked! Is the site you’re working with hosted here? If so, adding a domain here won’t interfere with their visits at all. Any links to the old free address will automatically be redirected to the new one so your custom domain appears in the address bar.

    We’ll also signal search engines to let them know the link has changed, and our ads will be removed because you upgraded the plan. If you don’t need any other changes on the site, the Personal Plan will do nicely, then use these steps to get the domain connected. And we’ll be here if you need any help along the way: your plan will get you direct support here.

    Or, if you’re managing your own instance of WordPress with another host, you’ll want to ensure you’ve updated the address properly and set up redirects as needed. This guide can help.
