I want to buy a domain from squarespace and use WordPress to start a separate site. Can I do this? I want the site to NOT have ‘wordpress’ as part of the URL/domain name. Is that feasible?

You could buy a domain here which would simplify things and consequently NOT have “wordpress” as part of the URL/domain name.

Hi @jamesmckeever3,

Yes, that is possible, however, to use your custom domain as a site address you will need to be subscribed to one of the WordPress.com’s paid plan.

Also, you do not need to buy a domain on Squarespace or elsewhere since a free domain is included for 1 year with each of the paid plans WordPress.com offers.

So that way you will be able to manage both your domain and hosting in one place here at WordPress.com

Hope, this help. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Best :)

Hi @jamesmckeever3,

Thank you, that is good to know … are there any promotional offers at the moment?

For this, I think it is much better if I let a staff member answer you. I am hence tagging this post for their attention.

One of the staff members will reach out to you soon and let you know if there are any promotional offer running currently.

Best :)

@jamesmckeever3 I believe there may be an offer incorporated in the webinars if you register for one:

Want to give that a try?

And thanks for your help here, folks.
