  I want to create a simple WordPress website for my business. I have purchased a domain at 123reg and have been told that I can transfer this domain to WordPress so that everything is run from here. How do I do this, please? Can I start building the website right away?

  This is WordPress.com. It would have been easier to purchase a domain right here if this is where you’re going to build your site. How long ago did you buy your domain?
  You can only transfer a domain after you’ve owned it for more than 60 days. If it is less than 60 days you could map your domain to a site here at WordPress.com immediately if you buy a Personal plan or higher:
