  Hi there!

  You would move your domains to WordPress.com only if you wanted to use those domains with your WordPress.com site. There are two ways of moving the domains, you can either transfer them here – we’ll be your new registrar and you would manage everything from one place. Or, you can map the domain – it would still be registered with GoDaddy but it will point to your WordPress.com site.

  Both options require a paid plan. You can read more about our plans here:

  As for the email, note that we do not offer email hosting but you can connect your existing email to your WordPress.com account:

  Let me know if you have any more questions regarding that.
