  Yes, if you registered your domain with WordPress.com, you can transfer it to your new host (if they offer domain services) or to another domain registrar. Here are the instructions to follow:

  Note that can also choose to keep the domain at WordPress.com, and simply “point” it to your new host. Here are the instructions to do that as well:

  Good luck!

  Hi there!

  Just to clarify, when you say ‘transfer a domain’ do you mean a custom domain (like yourname.com) or the WordPress.com address of that site?

  A deleted address can’t be reused on a different site. And if you’re referring to a custom domain, you can move/transfer domains between sites, accounts, and even to another registrar of your choice. For that, though, the domain needs to be active. If you canceled the domain, we’ll need to see if we can restore it first.

  Please let us know which domain you’re referring to and we’ll be happy to look into it further for you.

  Regards
