Blog name – new url
-
Hi – I am new to wordpress – I created a blog site, added quite a bit of content, and have since decided on my new name – I bought the domain name (not via WordPress) and now I need to know the best way to set it up.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi rebeccalarson484,
To use your existing domain, you can either transfer it to WordPress.com or you can map it.
https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/To accomplish this, you must have an upgraded plan because the free plan doesn’t allow you to use a custom domain.

Thank you! It seems like it would be easier to just transfer the domain I purchased to WordPress.com, rather than mapping it. Would you agree?

Yeah, that would be perfect.
But make sure that it’s been more than 60 days since you registered your domain name. There is a 60 days period during which you can’t transfer a domain from one registrar to another.
