WordPress.com does not accept incoming domain transfers. If you would like to use your domain you will first need to purchase a domain mapping upgrade http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/ set up domain mapping. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
After you make the domain mapping purchase here > Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades and do the primary blog set up it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.

See here for importing your content > http://en.support.wordpress.com/import/ Note also “Don’t See a Specific Importer for Your Blog’s Service?”

You’re welcome. re: email for domains also note this > http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/add-email/

I think that I will need a professional to handle this for me. This is too foreign for me: learning the nomenclature and all.

last question- can I keep my current domain web address by paying extra fee? (leaving the word “wordpress” out from my domain name?

am getting a domain mapping upgrade also, and have requested refund for other package purchased in error. A question about advertising – if I have domain mapping upgrade, WordPress will not insert WordPress ads into my site – correct??

@laneashfeldt
Incorrect. Purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade provides a domain name and domain mapping. That is all it provides. Please read this
http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#important-notes-before-upgradingIf you want to eliminate advertising then you can purchase an annually renewable No-Ads upgrade. http://en.support.wordpress.com/no-ads/

Seriously, the last Q’ now.
Are there people that I can pay them to handle the contents transfer from present website to WordPress’

thanks time thief
um appealworks sorry hope you do not mind me coming in on this thread – i did a private message but cannot see the answer I was told would be here.Timethief I still would like a refund even if I buy both domain mapping and No-ads as this is what I need and it costs about half what the Premium costs
I cannot reply to the support email where I requested a refund, and no refund button is showing in my store – please can you forward my request for a refund to the relevant department it is on connection with my “offa dyke house” account, thanks
and please ask them to deal with it via regular email not forum messages which I cannot reply to – many thanks

offadykehouse – could you please start a new thread to describe your issue in detail, and add the tag modlook in the Tags area and a Staff member will help you out. Thanks.

appealworks – if your current website is in one of the formats that we support – such as self-hosted WordPress, Blogger, Squarespace, etc. – we can help you import your content at no charge. Just start a new thread when you’re ready and add the modlook tag.
