  Hi I have been running a website for a care home for many years. I pay an external partner VDX for the registration of the domain name. It is a low key site. We want to opt for the free WP version as the domain name is secured elsewhere and we don’t need all additional bells and whistles. However, when I try there is no way to click the
  free version only the paid one is clickable. So what do I do to apply for the free version?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi there,

  Are you trying to use your own domain you bought somewhere else with your site at http://vriendenvanpieterpauw.wordpress.com/?

  If so, that requires the Domain Connection upgrade included in our Pro plan.

  https://wordpress.com/en/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/

  On the free plan you can only use the free example.wordpress.com address we provide.
