  Hello! I might be interested in transfering my domain to wordpress but i was wondering, since i have already paid for 10 years registration at the other provider, when i transfer it over to wordpress, will i get to keep the remainder of that time?

  Hi there,

  As part of the transfer process, your domain will be renewed for an additional year. If your domain has already been renewed to the maximum possible term (ten years for most TLDs, though shorter for some country-code TLDs), it won’t be possible to transfer until the domain becomes eligible for renewal again.
  Please check the below link for more details:

  OR

  You can also use domain mapping, in which your domain will remain at your current register but you will be using it at WordPress.com by changing the nameservers of it, you can read more about it here:

  Also, you will need an upgraded WordPress.com plan on your site such as Personal, Premium, Business, or eCommerce plan to transfer or map your domain here, you can check the below link for more details on plans & its features:

  Hope this helps.

  Cheers!
