Domain Renewal and Transfer
-
Hi there! I currently have a WordPress hosted blog run through another web hosting service. Long story short, my account has expired with them and I don’t want to renew my services and I am looking at some really basic services either through WordPress itself or Bluehost to renew and maintain my domain. Any suggestions on how to go about this?

Hi @brennerzoe,
WordPress.com does not accept incoming domain transfers, and you would have to change your name servers to direct a domain to us. I recommend transferring to a registrar that will allow you to do that, most do
There is a domain mapping upgrade available though. http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/
Thanks!

Hi there,
You can move to us, but the existing site will still need to be online for you to be able to export your content from there, so if the hosting plan has already ended you might need to reactivate it for another month.
Once it’s active, you can follow these steps to transfer your site content and domain to us:
