Cost for move to an existing for domain

  • Unknown's avatar

    I have an existing domain on another site but its version of WordPress does not have same functionality as your site. I need a price to move the website and also one to keep it on your server but need to use the same name that is on the on server. Also need to know if the premium upgrade will suffice for what I need. I have the majority of the website already done. Trying to compare price before deciding where to move website.

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

    re: mapping an existing domain
    WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible.

    Domain mapping of an existing domain URL that you already own and purchased elsewhere is not done free of charge. You will have to renew the domain name purchase where you made, it and the domain mapping purchase here, each and every year.

    Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually and a domain name purchase and domain mapping are included in the Premium upgrade bundle.

    In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain blog to map from and it does not matter what that underlying .wordpress.com URL is. It does not have to match the domain URL.

    If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the WordPress.COM blog, and as you own a domain URL already, you can see here for mapping an existing domain. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

    It can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
