  I have two domains at Hover.com. I want to transfer them to my friend, for WordPress hosting. I don’t want him to have to have a separate domain registar account— he should use WordPress for both domain and site hosting. How do I transfer my domains to his WordPress account? Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello @thecur4tor
  Sorry to inform you this, but WordPress.COM currently does not support incoming domain transfers.

  But you can use the Domain Mapping upgrade to point an external domain to a WordPress.COM Site/Blog.

  NOTE:

  You will need an upgraded WordPress.com plan on your site in order to map a domain

  As stated here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/

  Hope this helps 🙂
