  I have recently created a webpage for my iron work business in wix.com. I previously owned the domain name http://www.gossettironart.com through WP and would like to transfer that to my wix site and permanently delete the WP site for good as I do not need a blog type site for my business. and don’t want search engines directing customers to the old site.
  I’ve been working on this for 7 days now and have gotten no where.
  any help?

  Hi there,
  I see you registered that domain URL via WordPress. See these support documents for changing your name servers and transferring your domain registration and/or hosting to another registrar.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/move-domain/

  I also tagged this thread for a Staff follow-up to be sure you suceed. Please subscribe to it so you are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.

  Please do not delete the underlying .wordpress.com blog at this time. Wait for Staff assistance.

  Hi gossettironart,

  I’m happy to help you with this.

  The easiest thing is to transfer your domain to Wix. Here is their support information on how to do that:

  http://www.wix.com/support/html5/domains/transferring-domains-to-wix/faq/how-can-i-transfer-a-domain-purchased-elsewhere-to-wix

  You’ll see making the transfer requires an authorization code. Here are the step-by-step directions on getting that code: (TimeThief shared this link below as well)

  Transfer a Domain to Another Registrar

  If you have any trouble, I can help you generate the code, but since the domain belongs to you, it’s better if you are able to do it yourself.

  Let me know if you get stuck or have any more questions!
