  Hi, could you please to help me,

  let say this is the situation : i have an existing domain name A.com on wordpress hosting. Then i add another domain name B.com then i set B.com as my primary domain.

  My question is what about status of my domain name A.com ?
  can i bring my A.com to another hosting (bluehost)

  (note : i dont need proses of migration because my website A.com just started 2 days ago)

  Hi there,

  If you have a custom domain connected to a WordPress.com site, and then add a second domain and set the new domain as primary, the old domain will automatically redirect to the new one, along with the free WordPress.com address.

  If you point or transfer the domain to another host, it will load your site at that host instead of redirecting. That also means any existing links you’ve shared at that domain will stop working, as the domain will no longer be pointed to your site. But if your site is only two days old, that’s not an issue.

  To point a domain in your account to another host, see:
