Domain transfers
-
Hello! I have a domain registered with Namesilo and I’d like to transfer it over to wordpress.org. I have another domain already here as well, through Bluehost ( I think?!) I’m not sure why it isn’t showing up here yet, but ideally i’d like both domains to link to one- can you help with that?
Thanks in advance! -
Hi there,
If the domain is registered with Namesilo, you need to contact them to transfer it anywhere – this can only be done from your domain provider, nowhere else.
It’s impossible to transfer a domain to WordPress.org, though, as WordPress.org is neither a domain, nor a hosting provider. WordPress.org is the website where the WordPress community work together on the open source WordPress software.
To use that software you need to install it on a web server, at a hosting provider like Bluehost, and then connect or transfer the domain to that hosting provider.
WordPress.com is another hosting provider for that software, like Bluehost, and neither your domain at Namesilo nor the one at Bluehost will appear in your WordPress.com account unless you specifically connect or transfer those domains to us, using one of our paid plans.
It doesn’t sound as if you want those domains hosted with us on WordPress.com, so there’s nothing else we can do on this end to help you. Please contact the domain providers for those domains directly, and whichever hosting provider you want to use to find out what’s needed on their end.
Let me know if you have any questions about this.

I have a shopify store with the domain name http://www.LyndaAnne.shop I want to move to woocommerce and upgrade my wordpress site to an ecommerce, but before I pay $540 I need to know if I can use my domain. Can I transfer a .shop domain to wordpress?
