Use my own domain name on the free plan?
-
Hi, I have my own domain name that I would like to use for my site, however I do not wish to upgrade my wordpress account. Is there a way of using my domain name on the free plan? (As I’ve paid for the domain name, surely I can use it wherever I choose?)
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If you have registered the domain outside WordPress.com, you cannot use it with your WordPress.com blog with the free plan.
Similar to how hosting services charge a fee to host a domain, WordPress.com charges a fee as well. Until recently it was a separate service, but now it is part of the Premium/Business upgrade. You can read more about this here:
