    Hello!

    To use a domain name that you purchased at domain.com with a WordPress.com site, you need a paid plan and you will need to transfer or map your domain.

    Once you purchase a paid plan, you have access to 24/7 live chat assistance. This is good resource when you need more immediate and personal attention.

    If there are more questions you want to ask here about using your domain with a WordPress.com site, please post again.

    Hi there,

    What have you tried so far?

    So, if you have a domain you want to use at WordPress.com that you have hosted elsewhere, you do indeed have the option to map or transfer that domain.

    First, whether you map or transfer your existing domain, you will need to purchase a WordPress.com plan.

    The biggest factors to consider would be who you want to host your domain, how much your domain host currently costs compared to the domain + plans packages we offer here, and whether or not you want to host your domain and site at the same place.

    If you transfer the domain to WordPress.com, we’ll manage the domain. You’ll pay for the mapping and the plan here (domain is included within the plan price for the first year).

    But, if you keep the domain with your current host and map the domain to WordPress.com, your current host will continue to manage the domain and you’ll still need to pay them for hosting your domain.
