  I’ve been trying to set up a domain with my name. My friend managed to set up a domain in February 2016 with rakeebchowdhury.com on a free plan, paying £4 for domain registration and £11 for domain mapping, but it’s asking me to pay £85 a year….have things changed since?

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

  Yes there have been some changes since then. Domain mapping now requires a WordPress.com plan.

  Ahh yes my exact issue too.
  My friend done it for €13 to map the domain and now I can’t do it without having to pay the €99 for premium plan. What do we do? This is ridiculous. I never would of set it up with WordPress had I of known this.
  Any other platforms you know of?
