  Hi,

  If I understand it correctly it is when you pay for the domain with one provider, but have the site elsewhere.

  That means,

  • You get to keep the domain you purchased but it points to your WordPress.com site.
  • You have to continue to pay the domain provider to keep your domain active.
  • Some domain settings and configurations will need to be made with the current domain provider.

  If you would like to map a current domain to WordPress.com you will have to purchase an upgrade plan.
