  I have a domain .com with Google Domains. I want to make a WP blog. I am a complete beginner.
  Which is better for me, Transfer Domain to WP or Remap Domain from Google?

  Hi there,

  Transferring means that your domain’s registration is moved over to WordPress.com and we then become your registrar, so all future renewals of your domain and plan for your WordPress.com site are managed and paid on your WordPress.com account.

  Whereas, mapping means that you associate your domain with your WordPress.com site, but you renew the domain at your registrar (where you bought the domain), and only renew your site plan here at WordPress.com.
