  Hi there,

  If you wish to keep same domain and use wordpress.com to manage your site you can go for Domain Mapping. Make your nameservers point to wordpress.com.
  Refer domain mapping documentation:

  Hope that helps.

  Hello,

  If I have a domain with wix and cancel it, then come to wordpress and buy it again, will it still work?

  We don’t recommend cancelling a domain you plan to use again in the future, as there is no guarantee you will be able to get it back again.

  If you already own a domain, you can ‘map’ it to your WordPress.com site with domain mapping:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  You will need an upgraded WordPress.com plan, such as the Personal plan. Each paid plan includes a free domain credit which can be used to map a domain you already own (or register a new one).

  Domain mapping does not include renewal, so you will need to continue renewing the domain with Wix.

  Come back to me if you have any questions.
