  Hi there,

  What is the URL of the domain and when did you purchase it? Per ICANN rules, you can only transfer a domain after 60 days of being registered at the initial domain host. After 60 days you can transfer the domain:

  In the meantime, you can map the domain over to your WordPress.com site.

  In order to use your domain hosted at Go Daddy with your WordPress.com site, you’ll need to change the domain nameservers at your domain host, and point them over to WordPress.com. Our nameservers are:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  Then, you’ll need to purchase the mapping subscription upgrade as a part of a paid plan so that you can map your domain over to your WordPress.com site.

  For instructions on both processes, please visit our support page:

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!
