Domain mapping
-
I am trying to re-register domain mapping for my site. My site is currently hosted through GoDaddy.
I go to my ‘Domains’, at the bottom it says ‘Already own a domain? Map this domain to use it as your site’s address.’ $13.00/year. I click on ‘map it’, enter my domain, and click ‘add’ I go to checkout where I am being charged $99/year for WordPress.com Premium – annual subscription. I dont want WordPress Premium, I already have hosting. I only want to pay for domain mapping. Please help
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

In the past I have always hosted through Godaddy and paid domain mapping so that my blog would show up on my domain that I own. When I set this all up I dont think wordpress even had the option for hosting

I have the exact same problem! I want to map a domain I already own to my free wordpress site, but when I try to add it via the domain mapping site, it directs me to the checkout site and says I have to pay 85 pounds!?? I’m pretty sure it’s not actually that expensive, right??

To clarify: it’s basically telling me that I need to purchase a premium plan. When I last did this a few years ago, I didn’t have to purchase a plan at all, but even if(??) that has changed, why can’t I use the personal plan? From what I can see from the information, domain mapping is included in that one as well, but it’s not even given as an option for me when I checkout??

@inspirationlovescreation since your site is hosted here, your issue seems a bit different from @kipkirol’s. You do need a plan to map a domain — we no longer do that on free sites. Paid plans help us provide better support and also helps us cover the cost of keeping free sites free.
But you can use WordPress.com Personal; it’s cheaper and still comes with no-ads and live support.

@supernovia Okay thanks, I understand that I need a plan then, but when I try to add my domain through the domain mapping site, it takes me to the checkout page and automatically selects the premium plan with no possibility to select the personal plan. I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong?
