  Thanks for getting in touch.

  While we register new domains here at WordPress.com, we’re not able to accept incoming transfers of existing domain names. Therefore, we recommend that you keep the name registered at your current registrar. You can use the domain for your site here at WordPress.com by mapping the domain, as explained here:

  For more information about the differences between domain registration, hosting, and mapping, please see our page All About Domains:

  If you have any other questions, please let us know.
