  Hi, I had another website previously to setting up this one on WordPress. I cancelled the other website/host a month ago. I want to upgrade to use my domain name that I had previously but not sure if that is possible. Do I need to unlock my domain name somewhere with my previous website so I can use the name when I upgrade on WordPress or do I just choose ‘use previous domain.’ Appreciate your advice. thanks!

  Hi there,

  So, here’s what you need in order to use a Domain You Already Own (Domain Mapping). It requires three things as seen in the document below:

  Hope this helps!
