  Hello,

  I would like to buy my own domain (for $18 a year), but when I’m trying to pay, it says that I have to pay $120. How could I just pay the $18 fee? I do not mind renewing my payment every year, I just don’t wish to pay 120 right now.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Note that each upgrade bundle applies to a single blog only and is for a single year only when it is due to be renewed.

  We all pay in full for every upgrade at the time of purchase. Make sure you read the comparison very closely do you know exactly what the restrictions and limitations on WordPress.COM blogging are: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Domains are no longer available for purchase or mapping individually. They are included with WordPress.com Premium. This change has been made as we work to offer the best combination of value and performance for users while still offering a completely free product for those who do not wish to purchase any upgrades.
