    We are going to be signing up for a Business level account and have a domain we would like to use. Can we bring that over a bit later this year and have it managed here or can that only be done during initial setup?

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there!

    You can transfer a domain anytime you wish. It doesn’t have to be done when you’re setting it up for the first time. If you upgrade to the yearly plan, you get a free domain credit that you can use to transfer the domain to us. The credit is valid for the first year only, but you can use it later if it remains unused (as in if you don’t use it up by registering a new domain with us).

    You can upgrade using the button below:

    When you’re ready to transfer the domain to WordPress.com, feel free to follow the instructions here:
