  Did I actually purchase the Domain that I selected with my $99 Value Bundle plan or does Automatic/WordPress stilll own the domain? I am trying to transfer this domain/URL to Weebly but WP will not let it go…help?

  You own it. To move it to somewhere else, you need to follow these instructions:

  I did some searching. Weebly is a bit different. Staff will need your custom A record from Weebly. If you could provide that then they can make the necessary changes. Ill I’ll tag this thread for Staff assistance. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

  Hi @beermongerscc – Weebly is a bit different for mapping a domain from us to them. However, your domain is over 60 days old, so I recommend that you transfer it out entirely to a full-service registrar (such as GoDaddy). It will be much easier for you to manage it with your Weebly site from there.

  You can transfer your domain by following these instructions (note that you have to remove the private registration before it will transfer; that might have been what was tripping you up before):

  Transfer a Domain to Another Registrar

  If you still have any trouble, please let me know which step you’re getting stuck at, and what happens when you try to follow it. I’ll be happy to help you out! :)
