  Hi there,
  
  You do not need to close your site and start over. Instead, you can connect your domains theconfidentmum.com and theconfidentmum.co.uk to your WordPress.com site theconfidentmum.wordpress.com.

  In order to use your domains hosted with reg123 with your WordPress.com site, you’ll need to change the domain nameservers at reg123 and point them over to WordPress.com. Our nameservers are:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  Then, you’ll need to purchase the connection subscription upgrade as a part of a paid plan so that you can map your domain over to your WordPress.com site.

  For instructions on both processes, please visit our support page:

  If the domains have been registered with reg123 for at least 60 days, you also have the option of transferring them both over to your WordPress.com account. That way, both your domains and your site are all hosted in the same place. For information on transferring your domains, please visit our support page:

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!
