    I own my own domain, why does ‘wordpress.com’ still appear? How can I change it, I bought it from namecheap.

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

    Hi @iknoceo, you just need one of our paid hosting plans to connect the domain properly. The Personal Plan will do, then use these steps to get connected:

    WP
    Domains » Connect a Domain
    in WordPress.com Support

    If you already own a domain name with another provider, you can use that domain with your WordPress.com site. Once you complete the steps below, instead of your site address being something like yourgroovysite.wordpress.com, your site’s address will be something like yourgroovydomain.com. Follow the steps in this guide to keep your domain registered with your current provider and use it to show

    If you’re not sure whether the Personal Plan is best for your needs, let us know what you have in mind and we can make a recommendation. Cheers!
