  Are you talking about transferring domain registration? Or migrating a self hosted WordPress site to WordPress.com?

  Hi. I’m talking about moving the domain name registration to wp.com from my self-hosted site. I already exported the XML file for the content and I know how to bring that into the new wp.com site.

  What I am not clear on is how to bring that in since I can’t create a wp.com site with my domain name “onewaywardson.com” because that domain is still registered elsewhere. I have the transfer code from the current host but I’m not sure how to proceed.
