  Hello there,

  What is the domain you’re looking for assistance with?

  Also are you able to detail some more information about the website you’re looking to build please?

  Perhaps we can offer some insights.

  Many thanks.

  My domain is with godaddy and last time I tried to transfer it to WordPress, my google Gsuite stopped working and took me a while to figure out what was wrong. From a technical standpoint and the cost, what do you suggest?

  It’s more a personal preference type of thing, really.

  Mapping allows you to keep the domain registered with your current domain registrar and direct it to your WordPress.com site: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/map-existing-domain/

  A transfer would allow to manage both your site and domain from the same place: https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/incoming-domain-transfer/

  So, basically, are you an “all of your eggs in one basket” type of person, or “not all of your eggs in one basket”? :)

  To add: You may have issues with Gsuite during a domain transfer so you should check with Google support to see what the impact would be while you’re transferring the domain.

  I hope that helps!
