  Hi
  I am the owner of carobicos.com
  I am also the owner of carobicos.wordpress.com
  I would like to have carobicos.com display the content of carobicos.wordpress.com
  However, carobicos.com is hosted by GoDaddy and this hosting is auto-renewed yearly every January. So, until Jan 31, 2022, I am tied up there.
  Is there anything we can do in the meanwhile?

  Hi there,

  yes sure you have two options here, you can map the domain to WordPress.com or Transfer it here entirely if you want to streamline the process and have your domain and website managed on one platform.

  For you to be able to map or transfer the domain, you will need to be on a paid plan, personal or higher.

  for transferring a domain to WordPress.com: https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/incoming-domain-transfer/

  @carobicos staff here :) @therefoiam is exactly right.

  I wanted to add, the hosting you purchased there won’t really be useable here, but if you transfer the domain, any extra time you’ve added to it there will transfer here too, no problem.

  Let us know if you have more questions about this!
