  Hello Word Press team

  I have existing domain http://www.jruaccounting.com and mail account with it (email visible only to moderators and staff)

  How can I transfer both to WordPress?

  Also I do not want any disruption to my emails during transfer.

  Please advise

  Regards
  Jai

  WordPress.com doesn’t support email hosting. Perhaps you could keep your domain and email where it is and map the domain to a WordPress.com site. See also https://wordpress.com/support/add-email/

  Hi there,

  If your domain provider is also your email provider, then keeping your domain registration with them is the best option, as most likely your email hosting is included in what you currently pay them for the domain.

  If you do transfer the domain to us, you’ll need to keep the email hosting where it currently is. Then you’ll add the DNS records required by your email provider to the domain with us, to ensure your email continues to work. The link @themagicrobot provided above has more information on this.
