  Hi @stephenkenney9662 ,

  Excited to hear you are considering transferring your domain to WordPress.com! The following support page will walk you through the process, but here are a few points to keep in mind.
  Transferring a domain you already own to WordPress.com

  First, you will have to upgrade your WordPress.com account to a paid plan. Every paid plan comes with a free domain credit, so the cost for transfering a domain will be equivalent to the paid plan you choose to use. After that, a standard domain renewal fee will be billed yearly.

  Second, domains cannot be transferred within the first 60 days of registration. Make sure you are eligible for a transfer.

  And finally, you will have to unlock your domain with your current provider before you can transfer it here. You may have to get in touch with hibu and have them walk you through that process.

  All this information can be found in the link I gave you above. Feel free to write back here with any questions you may have. All the best!
