  I have a free Domain. However, I paid for it last week on Epic. I need it on WordPress as my Domain. How can we make this happen and remove my present Domain or copy it to Sockball.com from Epic?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi

  WordPress.com does not allow incoming domain transfers, though you can map your domain to your WordPress.com account:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  I would advise against deleting the domain at the other registrar and trying to purchase it again with the free credit on WordPress.com, when a domain is deleted it goes through a lengthy process before being released by the registrar.

  Your best bet to retain the domain is to map it to your account via the link above.

  Please reach out if you run into any problems.

  Hi there,

  Chris is exactly right. Please follow the instructions provided in the link he provided so that you can use the domain with your existing WordPress.com site. I’m removing the modlook tag, but please let us know if you have any questions. Thanks!
