  “You can map additional subdomains to your site with only $13.00 per subdomain, per blog, per year.”

  Isn’t subdomain mapping free with all other registrars?

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

  Hi paecmarketing,

  Just to add to @abhishekshahji’s reply — there is some information about the process of mapping a subdomain in this guide:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-subdomain/

  The domain credit in your plan has already been used to register a custom domain, which is why you are being asked to pay an additional $13 to map a subdomain.
