Read it many years ago -

however there may be some ads on your blog to help pay for your "free" blog if you don't also have the no ads upgrade

yes you just rent the domain name - and like renting an apartment - failure to pay rent gets you evicted or your domain name reverts to the wild where someone else can buy it

If I'm paying for it then I'm renting it, yes? All I want is to keep "bachelordad.net", nothing else. And that I need to pay to keep, yes?

thanks for your time, Daniel

What makes you think someone else owns it?

Domain Helper shows:

Primary Blog is Set

bachelordad.net is set as the primary domain for bachelordad.wordpress.com and will appear in the address bar when you visit the site.

Is that the correct connection?

Take away my domain if I don't spend another $99? Start putting ads on my site? I PAID for the domain a year ago. Someone else OWNs IT to charge me again?
