  At the premium upgrade ad it says that the $8.25 monthly charge will be billed yearly. Dose that mean that to start the plan one must pay a full year of subscription at $8.25 per month times 12? On a tight disability income I need to be careful not to over extend my budget? Thank you

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

  There are no monthly payment plans. We are billed annually. What you are reading is what I call “market-speak”. In my opinion it is confusing and ought to be removed.

  Note: Please go to https://wordpress.com/pricing/ to upgrade.

  If you have any difficulties see what Staff said here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/custom-domain-89?replies=6#post-2882612

  You can use the Personal Plan, yes, but you need to add the plan first. If you add the domain first, Premium is selected automatically.

  Go to My Site ->Plans and buy the Personal Plan, and then you can go back and claim your free domain at My Site ->Domains ->Add.

  If you want to purchase the Premium plan the charge is $99 in US funds per year and all upgrades must be paid for in full at the time of purchase.

  Thank you very much timethief!
  I am brand new at web sites so I am, (how did they used to put it), a tenderfoot or greenhorn? It is intelligent and generous people like you that help make this wonderful world turn.
  Sincerely, Ted
