  I have signed up for a blog with a specific web address however I can only access the blog via wordpress. Why is this? does this mean I will be paying $18 a year for a web address that I don’t own???

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

  footprinted.net – is an expired domain being held at BlueHost – there is also no domain mapping for that domain name – you might be able to buy the domain name from BlueHost – but you need to ask them

  What do you see at

  Dashboard >> Store >> My Upgrades?

  Dashboard >> Store >> Billing History?

  If you can get the domain name at BlueHost – you can map it to a blog here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
