  .. hello.

  i would like to use a domain…it is not mine, it is froma friend.. he wants to transfer it to me,and i will use it with my wordpress.com blog… but when i try to insert a domain, the systems knows that it is already registered, and it does not givbe me the option to transfer it, only to mapping it (domain mapping)… should we first transfer the domain, and then use the domain mapping???

  thanks

  Who is the domain registered with? WordPress.com does not accept incoming domain transfers.
