  Thanks for getting in touch. While we register new domains here at WordPress.com, we’re not able to accept incoming transfers of existing domain names. Therefore, we recommend that you keep the name registered at your current registrar. You can use the domain for your site here at WordPress.com by mapping the domain, as explained here:

  If you have any other questions, please let us know.

  Hi,

  I’ve unsuccessfully set up a WordPress account under DanLewisDrums.com and then tried to set up another one on Weebly another blogging site. But I have somehow managed to link the two ? so that whenever you type in DanLewisDrums.com it comes to my wordpress page where there is no content. Plus I have now payed for them both over $80. I am really confused. could someone help ?

  You can point the domain you registered at WordPress.com to another server (hosting service), with these steps:

  Change a Domain’s Name Servers

  You’ll need to obtain the name server values from your current host. You should be able to find them on their support documentation, or contact them and ask for the information. (Name servers may be referred as “nameservers” or “NS records” instead.)

  I hope this helps – let me know if you have any more questions!
