  Which should I select?

  1) Transfer your domain away from your current registrar.
  or..
  2) Map your domain without moving it from your current registrar.

  Hi there,

  I am assuming from the content of your post that you want your hosting provider to be WordPress.com.

  Both options 1) Transfer your domain away from your current registrar. or 2) Map your domain without moving it from your current registrar. will ultimately work in the same way.

  The first one will be more simple for you to manage the domain and hosting, having all of them over the same provider.

  Keeping your domain to another registrar is also fine, but every change you make to that domain will need to be made in 2 different places.

  Details about both options over here:

  Domains

  Hope it answers your question, if not let me know and I will do my best to answer it.

  Thanks
  Stefan

  If you’re talking about travelinglandscapedesigner.com then that domain was purchased at GoDaddy. If you don’t want to set up a site there using the WordPress.org software you’re welcome to set up a site here at WordPress.com. You’d need a Personal plan or higher to map the domain. (Domains can only be transferred when you have owned them for at least 60 days).
