    Hi,

    I am trying to make my site go live by launching my site covidincollegeathletics.com. The site is then saying that I need to pay a certain amount of money for a plan and there is no free option. I was told by my professor at Jacksonville University and from having previous experience in WordPress that this should be free? Can you help me resolve this so that I can register and launch my free site?

    Thank you,
    Sharn Muffett.

    Hi Sharn! All free sites at WordPress.com come with free site URLs, like the ones you have…

    About Me

    As soon as you go to add a custom domain like covidincollegeathletics.com that’s going to require one of our paid hosting plans.

    We do offer the domain at no additional cost to that hosting fee the first year, an $18 value, and that comes with a free SSL: https://wordpress.com/support/https-ssl/#why-should-i-use-https-and-ssl

    If you would like to continue with a free site, you can use the site URLs you already have in place. If you have any other questions about your sites and what to do next, let us know. We’re happy to help. :)
