  Hi there,

  If you have bought a domain name from Third party resistor and you want to use it with WordPress.com hosting, then you have two options to do

  1. You can transfer your current domain from the third-party resistor to WordPress.com to make all your purchases more accessible and cheaper. (You can only transfer a domain only if that TDL is supported by WordPress.com)

  2. If your current Domain TDL is not supported with WordPress.com Transfer platform, then you can map your domain to WordPress.com by changing Name servers or A record. In domain mapping, you need to manage your domain purchases with your resistor. However, you also need to buy a domain map after your first year separately with WordPress.com, and your Domain renewal charges are as per your resistor.

  You can choose Personal or above hosting plan to use your custom domain, https://WordPress.com/pricing/

  Thanks !!!
