  I already have a domain registered with google. Now I want to create a website for this domain. Should I transfer the domain to WordPress or map it?

  Hi info499782810,

  We’re glad to hear that you have decided to choose WordPress.com.

  You can transfer your domain if it’s older than 60 days. But if it’s new, you can only map it.

  To accomplish this, you require an upgraded plan. Please check the pricing.

  My domain is older than 60 days. What is the advantage of transfer over mapping or the reverse?

  Transferring your domain makes it easy to manage everything at the same place. You get rid of the pain setting the DNS and contacting your domain registrar.

  It’s better to let the WordPress.com team takes care of everything for you.
