  I have a domain that I would like to map over to WordPress. When I do the mapping, do I cancel the registration with the previous company and now WordPress is hosting my domain? Or is the domain still hosted by the previous company?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Good questions!

  Domain mapping for WordPress.com lets you use a custom domain that is registered elsewhere on your WordPress.com site.

  You would need to keep your domain registered at your existing domain registrar. Also WordPress.com does not accept incoming domain transfers.

  Take a look at this page for more information on domain mapping:
