Why can’t I just cname a domain to myblog.wordpress.com

  It seems silly that I have to turn over all control of a domain to WordPress.com in order to host a blog under my own domain name, yet it’s allowed for a subdomain. Anyone care to explain the reasoning for this?

  You’d need to contact staff directly to get an answer on that. Volunteers in the forums just don’t know, nor do we have a say on policy.

  If you want to use a subdomain you can use a cname.
