  I have registered my domain name with wordpress. Now it is up for renewal on GoDaddy.com. What is involved in moving my domain name from GoDaddy to WordPress?

  Hi,

  While we register new domains here at WordPress.com, we’re not able to accept incoming transfers of existing domain names. We therefore recommend that you keep the name registered at your current registrar. You can use the domain for your site here at WordPress.com by mapping the domain, as explained here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  For more information about the differences between domain registration, hosting, and mapping, please see our page All About Domains:

  Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.
