  I have a domain name(revivalmissionministries.org) with another ‘host’ (bluehost), it is about to expire very soon. I was wondering if I could sort of transfer the ‘name’ into wordpress, and would it be possible to at the same time, replace my blog site ‘name’ from revivalmissionministries.wordpress.com to just revivalmissionministries.org??
  Or what would you consider I do? The dotorg, site seems to come up in search engines, better than the dotwordpress.com site..
  Thanks

  Hey Ross,

  Currently, it is not possible to transfer your domain name to WordPress.com from BlueHost. However, you can map your domain using the instructions here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  For this to work, you will need to renew your domain at BlueHost and then map it following the instructions above. This will replace your WordPress.com domain (revivalmissionministries.wordpress.com) with your custom domain (revivalmissionministries.org).

  Let me know if you need any additional help or have any additional questions!
