  I’ve already purchased a domain and now I need a hosting site. However, with the site that I choose, I do not wish to have the name within my domain. For example, My domain is Carmelanin.com. If I choose to use wordpress, is there a way to not have carmelanin.wordpress.com as the site people see?
  Also, I will uploading video content to my blog. Would the ‘Personal’ package suffice?

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

  Hi there,

  To use your domain Carmelanin.com with WordPress.com, you can opt for domain mapping. All you have to do is point your DNS (Domain Name Servers) to WordPress.com. You can then use WordPress.com to manage your site content.

  Follow the instructions step by step

  Note; Purchasing either of Personal, Premium and Business upgrade plans is necessary to map a domain.

  Also, I will uploading video content to my blog. Would the ‘Personal’ package suffice?

  Sadly, the answer is No! You’ll need Premium or Business plan to add Audio and Video files to your blog.
