  I have a domain, purchased through Network Solutions. I am only finding information about transferring a domain from WordPress to another host. What steps do I need to take to transfer from Network Solutions to WordPress, for the WordPress hosting fee of $18/year? Network Solutions is too expensive and I love WordPress!

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

  WordPress.com does not accept incoming domain transfers. That’s not to say you can’t use the domain with your WP.com site; you just need to purchase the domain mapping for $13 a year and change the nameservers, but you will still have to manage it via Network Solutions.

  Thanks for your reply! I’m currently using web forwarding from skullranch.com using NetSol, but the links on my main page all point to skullranch.wordpress.com. Hopefully changing the nameservers in my NetSol account will solve that issue (?)

  You also need domain mapping to go with changing the name servers
