  Hi. I have a domain registered locally in Papua New Guinea (www.wal.com.pg) and would like to know if I can connect this local domain to the website I am currently creating using WordPress. Please help

  Hi there:

  You should be able to use the domain here at WordPress.com by upgrading to a WordPress.com plan on your site (Personal, Premium Business plan, or eCommerce.) then add domain mapping to use your domain here.

  Here are the steps you can follow:

  Note that you can’t transfer your .com.pg domain to WordPress.com, but you can always update your domain nameservers to point to your WordPress.com site.

  Let us know if you have any other questions!
