map or transfer domain

Howdy –
There isn’t a right or wrong option. Neither option is permanent.
With mapping, you still have to renew your domain registration each year through that provider + your mapping with us.

With a domain transfer everything site-related is in one place, yay! That’s a big plus. But, the domain has to be 60 days old in order to be eligible for a transfer.

Both options are included in our personal plan. More details about that at https://wordpress.com/plans/
Write back with any follow ups after looking over all that material.

Hi there,
If you transfer your domain, you’ll be able to manage both your site as well as the domain directly from your WordPress.com account. Renewals for the hosting as well as the domain will be taken care through WordPress.com.
On the other hand, mapping option will only let you manage your hosting and domain mapping through WordPress.com. You’ll have to contact your domain registrar for domain renewal.
Hope this helps!

My apologies staff-zinnia I submitted the answer without refreshing the page, so didn’t come to know that the thread was already answered by you.
