  • Hi there,

    if you have already domain, you have to map it. You’ll want to click on My Sites > Domains > Add > Already own a domain? Map it!

    Document to complete it is here:

    After mapping, then even if you type criccorner.com and criccornercom.wordpress.com both, you can search your site.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the response.
    But am using the free version of wordpress and i guess it requires an upgraded plan to map the domain. can we add this domain in free version of wordpress too?

  • Hi.

    As you mentioned, you can’t map your domain with free plan. At least, you have to upgrade to personal plan.

    If you have further question, please let me know.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the revert.
    am implementing this domain just for the sake of project and when am trying to upgrade the plan, it was asking me to pay around 35$ which would not make any sense just for using the site for 1 or 2 months. So can you please help me like how i can purchase it for a month or 2, as i cant see any options to pay on monthly basis in the term plan.
