Registering a WordPress Domain for $18
-
I have quite a few websites on WordPress, which I paid $18 a year to register a domain name for by buying them on wordpress. Now the price has gone up to £85 a year upfront and forces users to buy an annual plan. Can I not just buy a domain anymore?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
