  Hi Tawana,

  I’m happy to help.

  If you map your domain to your WordPress.com site, it’s important to note that you’ll have two separate places to maintain your domain. First, you’ll need to maintain your domain registration and renewal through your domain registrar, where you bought your domain name. Second, you’ll need to maintain your Domain Mapping upgrade through WordPress.com to keep using this as your site’s address.

  If you transfer the domain to WordPress.com, you’ll be able to manage your domain and site in the same place. Your domain will be renewed automatically for another year upon completion of a successful transfer.

  For many people, it is more convenient to keep all website costs in one place by buying their domain and hosting their site through a single company. But it depends on what works best for you.
