How to Custom Domain WordPress.com

February 8, 2022 | Domain, KB

Before continuing this tutorial. We emphasize that WordPress.com is different from WordPress.org . if wordpress.org is a script that is uploaded and run into the hosting. but for wordpress.com is a service to create a blog like Blogger.

What most distinguishes wordpress.com from blogger with regard to custom domains is that wordpress services are paid, while blogger is not.

Here's a short tutorial to change from blogname.wordpress.com to blogname.com

  1. Upgrade your wordrpess.com to Premium
  2. Membeli Domain di Digitalku
  3. Doing Custom Domains
  4. Name server settings to connect to WordPress

Upgrade WordPress to Premium

Because WordPress only allows the premium version to do custom domains. So we are forced to not be able to use the free version if we want to use WordPress with our own domain. For the price of premium wordpress itself, it ranges from 47 thousand to 500 thousand per month. This price is relatively 11 12 with us buying a hosting. But sometimes we have our own reasons to prefer wordpress.com over wordpress.org which is installed on the hosting.
