  Hi, which is better—Domain mapping vs WordPress domain transfer. I’ve already got to domains at doteasy.com, should I transfer them to WP for less $$ than doteasy, I’m prob going to use WP to build the sites. Please advise.

  Hi lanelson55,

  With mapping, the domain will remain registered with Doteasy. This process creates a connection between the domain and WordPress.com — the domain will still need to renewed through Doteasy each year, in addition to renewing the plan you purchased through WordPress.com:

  Transferring the domain from Doteasy to WordPress.com means it will be registered and renewed through us each year. This option would be better if you want to manage the site and domain through one account:

  Both options will require a paid plan — Personal, Premium or Business.

  Please let me know if you have any questions.
