sorry I think my question was phased badly.

I was trying to ask if I purchase abc.com for my wordpress blog.

can I tweak with it's DNS to have happy.abc.com for my tumblr blog too?

because if I purchased from namecheap

I can have abc.com pointing to my wordpress.com and have a pictures.abc.com pointing to my tumblr account. I am wondering if this is possible if I purchased my domain here.

Thank you.

I'm looking to purchase a custom domain from wordpress.com.

For example. abc.com

Will I be able to customize it's dns and have a meme.abc.com as well?

So I will have a abc.com pointing to my wordpress.com site
and a meme.abc.com pointing to my tumblr blog.

And if it is possible, do I only pay for abc.com or do I need to pay for both?

Thank you so much :D

I am a bit confused here.

from raincoaster "Yes, you can take it with you elsewhere, but you'll have to renew the purchase of it with WordPress.com every year."

does the renew of purchase include the cost of domain mapping or it is only the US$4.99 domain fee?

Thank you so much .

There is no penalty for moving a domain name, however, there is usually a transfer cost charged by the new registrar.

Also check out these tips about moving to WordPress.org in our support documentation.

You can just buy new ones on the Upgrades > Domains page in the blog to add as many as you like. You can only set one primary domain per blog though. The rest will redirect to whatever is set as the primary domain.

Ok instead of creating my own post regarding this, figure i'de just ask in here
A friend of mines started this blog, I mostly operated it and he does'nt really have a clue about whats what or goes where, he got the domain name from here on WP, we both currently want to move the domain name, but after calling Lunarpages they said it was registered with wildwestdomains which has it locked.

How does he go about getting it unlocked? also he has a hosting account with our domain name swaggtalk100.net with lunarpages is there any penalties, surcharges...ect for moving or transfering?? How are we to know what was purchased already threw here? there is no list of items [bought] just shows prices of the upgrades in that section lastly is domain mapping required to move it or not....i'm not sure what he purchased with the domain name

sorry for all the extra questions, just started out, dont want to get t confused (more than I already am) and want to get it done smoothly as possible

Oh, one more question. Sorry if it's stupid -- I take it the domain name I purchased for wordpress.com is unchangeable until it expires? It's OK ... I didn't really like it that much anyway...

The process goes like this. Purchase a domain and domain mapping. hire a webhost, install wordpress.org software, install a theme, and install plugins.
After that you export your wordpress.com blog contents and links out of the wordpress.com blog and import it into the new wordpress.org blog.

As I understand it, if your blog is on wordpress.com, then you're stuck with only the built-in themes and plugins ...

I'm just nervous because I registered my domain through wordpress.com not even realizing there was a difference between the .com and .org and now worried I'm stuck with it for the next year.

@tellyworth says "If you register a domain name through WordPress.com, you own it. WordPress.com has no control over it, and you can take it elsewhere at any time."

HOW?
