  Hello, I am looking to know whether my domain transferred to wordpress from godaddy and if I have to pay again for it even though I paid for it on godaddy?

  Site: https://innatecapital.wordpress.com.

  Hello, @innatecapitalpartners.

  Here’s a support artical I found for you about transfering domains that may give you the information you need. https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/incoming-domain-transfer/#:~cctext=You%20can%20also%20enable%20private,you%20will%20not%20be%20charged.

  Hi there!

  If you transfer a domain registration to WordPress.com, you do need to pay us (instead of your current registrar) for the registration and renewal of the domain.

  I see that you already started a domain transfer. You will not be charged for this year because your yearly Business plan covers the cost of the first year’s domain registration/transfer fees. From next year onwards, you’ll renew the Business plan and the domain separately.

  Your WordPress.com Business plan gives you access to live chat support. If you have more questions, feel free to contact us at https://wordpress.com/help/contact

  Regards
