  Hello jetweedie,

  There are two options. Keep your domain on ionos and map it to your WordPress.com site, or transfer your domain from ionos to WordPress.com. Either way, you can assign your domain to your WordPress.com site from your WordPress.com account.

  With either option, you need to purchase one of the paid WordPress.com plans:

  Some people feel there is less risk in having separate vendors for domain name and web hosting; others prefer the convenience of managing hosting and domains from a single resource.
