Domain
-
Hello,
I would like to re-register my domain without repaying for a premium account. Is this possible?
Thank you,
wren -
Provide more details please.
What is the domain URL that you want to register?
What is the URL of the underlying .wordpress.com blog you want to map from to that domain URL?

the url is
wrenandwhere.comI would love to switch to self-hosting/ work through wordpress.org with the same domain and not lose my content.

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

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.

Hi @wrensieber, no problem. I’ve removed Premium for you. You’ll want to renew the domain here so it won’t expire:
