  I would like to see my domain as the website, so http://www.awaremoments.nl, in stead of https://awaremoments.wordpress.com/! I registered my domain at TransIP. Could I upgrade so that the domain in the browser changes? What are my options?

  And maybe I would like to change emailadres in stead of using my gmail account! Is that also include at wordpress?

  Many thanks in advanced!
  Shelly

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

  Since you already own a domain, you can map it to your existing WordPress.com blog. Adding a domain to your site (either registering a new domain or mapping one you already own) requires a WordPress.com plan. See https://wordpress.com/pricing/ for more information.

  And maybe I would like to change emailadres in stead of using my gmail account! Is that also include at wordpress?

  WordPress.com provides e-mail forwarding, but if you’d rather have full email hosting, you can connect another provider to your custom domain. Refer https://en.support.wordpress.com/add-email/ for more information.

  Thank you Tony!

  So what happens when i upgrade to Personal? Do I have to change my blog/website, or does that happen automatically? I read here that it is a complex thing to change from .com to .org? –> http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-properly-move-your-blog-from-wordpress-com-to-wordpress-org/

  And with ‘Personal’, there will ben no more https://awaremoments.wordpress.com/?

  Thanks again!

  So what happens when i upgrade to Personal?

  When you upgrade to Personal, you will get a custom domain name, all WordPress.com advertising will be removed and you can have access to high quality email and live chat support.

  Do I have to change my blog/website, or does that happen automatically?

  You needn’t change anything. It happens automatically.

  I read here that it is a complex thing to change from .com to .org?

  No, not as complex as portrayed.

  And with ‘Personal’, there will ben no more https://awaremoments.wordpress.com/?

  No, it will be there. What happens is that the custom domain name is mapped to this domain but the underlying URL is the same.
