Domain transfer to WordPress.com or theme transfer to WordPress.org?

    Hi, I have a domain in WordPress.org but recently I realised it would make my life much easier if I could develop my site in a theme available at WordPress.com, and I have been advancing much faster there than in the past 5 years in WordPress.org. I would still want to learn about the features in WordPress.org, and perhaps keep the flexibility they warrant, but it seems the fact that I need time to actually become hands on is slowing me down considerably. Would you then advise me to transfer my domain to WordPress.com or the theme I have been working on there to WordPress.org? Thank you so much.

    Hi there!

    You are welcome to transfer or map your domain to your WordPress.com site.

    If you decide to map it – your domain will stay with the current registrar, and you’ll need to go to their site to manage anything domain-related.

    If you transfer the domain to WordPress.com, we’ll be your new registrar. This way, you’ll manage everything from one place, and you’ll be able to reach support with any domain related-issues :)

    Here you can find more information: https://wordpress.com/support/domain-mapping-vs-domain-transfer/.

    Also, note that on WordPress.com’s Business plan, you can use plugins and third-party themes, just as you would on WordPress.org:
