Domain Name Transfer
-
Hello,
I purchased web hosting with another service provider, but under domains in wordpress is not giving me the option to transfer the domain. Can you please help me with this?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
That is because that option does not exist.
re: mapping an existing domain
All wordpress.com blogs are on .wordpress.com subdomains.
WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible.Please read first:
Important Notes Before Upgrading https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgradingAdditional information: WordPress.COM blogs do not have permanent IP addresses. IP addresses here can and do can change over time and your domain may stop working if you rely on them. For more information about domain mapping and IP addresses please read https://en.support.wordpress.com/ip-addresses/
All wordpress.com blogs are on .wordpress.com subdomains.
WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible.If you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the WordPress.COM blog, and as you own a domain URL already, you can see here for mapping an existing domain. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
Domain mapping of an existing domain URL that you already own and purchased elsewhere is not done free of charge. You will have to renew the domain name purchase where you made it, and also renew the domain mapping purchase here, each and every year.
Mapping an existing domain costs $13. annually and a domain name purchase and domain mapping are included in the Premium upgrade bundle.
In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com sub-domain blog to map from and it does not matter what that underlying .wordpress.com URL is. It does not have to match the domain URL. If you do not register a .wordpress.com blog URL first then the software supplies the dot whatever URL so you can proceed with your domain mapping purchase.

Your billing history will be at Dashboard > Store > Billing History

It can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

I am trying to transfer my wordpress domain (shantilayoga.com) to another registrar and in the support
https://en.support.wordpress.com/transfer-domain-registration/
it shows the option to transfer domain, but it dos not show that for me when I log in

I’m so sorry I reversed what you said in my mind and I do apologize. Are you logged in under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchased the domain mapping upgrade for it?

Hi there! The domain shantilayoga.com expired 3 days ago. You will need to renew it prior to transferring it to another registrar:
https://wordpress.com/purchases
Once it’s renewed, you may proceed to this page:
https://shantilayoga.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains
or here:
https://wordpress.com/domains/manage/
to start up the transfer process. For more instructions please view this support page:

Good luck!
