  I am transferring a blog from wordpress.com to wordpress.org self-hosted on Dreamhost. I set up a domain registration transfer and it was rejected. My domain registration is due with wordpress.com and I have been hesitant to pay the $25 to keep it registered with wp.com knowing that it was transferring to dreamhost.

  Do I need to pay the domain registration on WP.com and then request another transfer to dreamhost?

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

  Hi there,

  It looks like you still have Private Registration enabled for the domain therookiedad.com. If that’s the domain you were looking to transfer, you’ll need to disable that before the transfer can go through.

  We have a help article which will walk you through the process right here:

  Transfer a Domain to Another Registrar

  Let me know if you run in to any troubles and I’ll be happy to walk you through it!
