If you already have a domain name and want to use it for your blog, type your existing domain in the box on the right and click on “next”. Only use the box on the right if you have previously paid to register a domain!

6. You may even have to settle on your hosting package and choices.
- With the 36 month package you get the lowest monthly rate, while the 12 month package has a lower initial cost. Either is a good option.
- I uncheck the boxes next to the other products when I register. You can always add them later if you need them.
