  Hello,

  We are using a Business plan and we have a website in staging. We would like to move it to production but since there are a few aspects we need to consider before migrating, it’s not very clear how to procede.
  First, we already have our own .ro domain that we use with our current non-wordpress site.
  Second, our email server is routed through Office 365, so we need to make sure the transition is as smooth as possible since we cannot afford to loose acces to our email accounts.

  As far as we understand, we need to map our existing domain ( https://wordpress.com/support/domains/map-existing-domain/ ) and then we need to add our email through Office 365 ( https://wordpress.com/support/domains/custom-dns/ & https://wordpress.com/support/add-email/add-email-through-office-365/ ).
  Our main problem however is moving the actual website from staging to production.

  Could you help us with the transition?

  Thank you!

  Hi! Of course we can help. Have you tried contacting support directly on this?

  You’ll want to get the domain mapped, and get your DNS settings from Office 365 moved over. Then when everything is set up on this end, you can update the domain settings to point here.
