  Hi,

  I registered my domain name http://matthewlovell.co.uk with WP but now it has suddenly disappeared. On my dashboard it shows that http://www.matthewlovell.co.uk is active and ready for renewal on April 2.

  Why has my site disappeared? Please help.

  Hi there,

  Your domain isn’t registered here at WordPress.com, but it is mapped to your blog.

  Domain registration is distinct from mapping your domain to your WordPress.com blog.

  You might try contacting your registrar ( http://www.123-reg.co.uk ) to renew your domain name.

  Hi Chris,

  Thank you for that. You’re right about the domain name renewal… Could you please tell me how I can transfer my domain name from 123-reg to WordPress?

  I have searched around the support pages but I don’t know what words/jargon I should be searching for.

  Thank you very much,
