  I have a domain name registered with another company which is now pointing to my wordpress blog. I would like to transfer ownership of the domain to wordpress and eliminate the need for the other company. How can I do this?

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

  Thanks for getting in touch.

  While we register new domains here at WordPress.com, we’re not able to accept incoming transfers of existing domain names. We therefore recommend that you keep the name registered at your current registrar. You can use the domain for your site here at WordPress.com by mapping the domain, as explained here:

  For more information about the differences between domain registration, hosting, and mapping, please see our page All About Domains:

  Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.
