  Hey there,

  You can either transfer your domain or map your domain to WordPress.com.
  Please note that doing either of it would require an Upgraded WordPress.com Plan on your site.

  To transfer a domain to WordPress.com, please read carefully through the support guide below:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/

  Also, please make sure that the domain is eligible for transfer before opting for it. Check here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/#before-you-begin-the-transfer

  Please contact your current provider if you’re not sure if your domain is eligible. If your domain is not eligible to transfer, please map your domain instead.

  To map your domain, please read through this support guide below carefully:

  Hope this helps! :)

  Thanks!
