  If I transfer my domain name from GoDaddy will I lose the email address associated with the domain or will it transfer to WordPress automatically and if not will I be able to still access it through GoDaddy? Or, should I cancel my account with GoDaddy and repurchase the domain name with WordPress and if I do that will I be assured that I’ll get the same domain name?

  Hi there,

  On WordPress.com we don’t offer email hosting. We have partnered with Google and we can purchase a G Suite license through us which will allow you to create an email address. You can read more about that here:

  However, if you already have messages in your email and you don’t want any downtime during the transfer, I suggest keeping both your domain and your email with GoDaddy. If you do that, then you can still host your site with us, by pointing your domain here.

  If you have any other questions, just let me know and I’ll be happy to help.
