  I’m confused about which would make more sense. Domain Transfer or Domain Mapping. I own the domain already.

  Hello

  Please see this link if you want to use a Domain You Already Own: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  Hope it helps.

  Hi there,

  Which one you choose is entirely up to your personal preference.

  If you map the domain here, you’ll still have to pay your current domain provider to renew the domain each year. If you transfer it to us you pay the same provider for your plan and for your domain, which makes things simpler.

  Many people prefer to keep the two separate, though.
