  Hi,
  I have bought the domain medbørnpåeventyr.dk and was trying to transfer it to my wordpress account, but it seems to be invalid. Is this because of the ø and å in the name?
  Thanks,
  Tomas

  Hi Tomas,

  We do not currently support hosting for domains containing special characters, no, so it’s not possible to use that domain with a WordPress.com site at all.

  We are also not an accredited registrar for .dk domains, so while you can map a .dk domain without special characters to a WordPress.com site, you still cannot transfer the registration to us entirely.
