  Hello
  I have the domain name deadwhenigothere.org registered with wordpress.com.
  The site is housed at wordpress.org

  I now want to move the name and the site elsewhere. I’m told I need a domain authorization code and when I go to upgrades I can’t get to anything.

  Please advise with a step by step guide.
  Thanks.

  Thanks. I’ve just instructed the transfer. I believe my registration with you ends next March. How can I ensure that payment will not continue after that? Also – will my worpress.org site be deleted or simply unavailable to the public?

  The next step is to transfer my email which has been set up with Google Apps. I believe this will expire by next March as well. Can you advise on how to do this?

  Many thanks.
