  hi! I’d like to transfer my website: fallonphilanthropy.com
  to be hosted by WordPress. Is that possible, and if so, what exactly do I need to tell the current host and who should handle the transfer?
  Thank you.
  Blaise

  Hi Blaise –

  Great questions. There’s 2 ways to use that domain here, at WordPress.com.

  1. Mapping: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
  2. Transfer: https://en.support.wordpress.com/incoming-domain-transfer/

  Read over both options and let me know if you have any questions about the differences in the options. Those pages include what to tell your hosting provider.

  To use the domain, regardless of which option you pick from above, a plan upgrade is required. The personal plan would be a great starting place. It includes your hosting, your domain fee for a year, and access to our live chat and email chat at any time. https://wordpress.com/pricing/
