How do I move a domain name from another place to wordpress
-
I already use wordpress for my blog on my website that is hosted by dreamhost. My domain name is registered with another company – GKG.net.
My accounts with both dreamhost and GKG are about to expire. I am wondering if I can registers my domain name with you and move my website (which I will redo) to you. And if yes, how do I go about doing it?!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there. WordPress.com does not accept incoming domain transfers, so if you want to use an existing domain with a WordPress.com site, you’ll have to keep the domain with the current registrar and buy the domain mapping upgrade from WordPress.com: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#transferring-a-domain-to-wordpress-com

Also note that we cannot use plugins or custom themes here. You can find a full breakdown of the differences here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
