  I am trying to move a domain to my other account. I set it up using my work account but need it to be with personal account.
  I was going to delete it, then I saw that I could no longer get that same domain again.
  Please advise. Thank you.

  Hey there!

  The idea here is to add your personal account as an “Admin” on your site (This can be done under My Site ->People ->Add), and then pass ownership of the domain over to the personal account (Admin). I did some digging and found that this article should guide you through accomplishing this:

  I hope that’s helpful!

  Hi seaatgsu,

  There are no domain purchases on the account you are logged in to. Which domain would you like to transfer?

  Once I know more, I’ll take a look.

  Hello,

  The one with an individual’s name – starts with R. I haven’t started building the site yet. I just want to keep that domain and move it to my personal account. I did not purchase the domain – just created it.

  Thanks!

  Hi seaatgsu,

  I just want to keep that domain and move it to my personal account.

  I see what you mean now. When you’re ready, the site can be moved to your personal account using these steps:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/transferring-a-site-to-another-wordpress-com-account/

  At the moment, that site doesn’t have a custom domain upgrade, so the last step does not apply (Transferring a blog with a domain upgrade).

  Let me know if you have any questions.
