  The domain mapping is a required part of the domain registration. However, the ‘private registration’ upgrade is optional and can be canceled at https://aglastation.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=my-upgrades

  Hi Kardotim,

  Please help me understand why I need domain mapping?

  All my blog content is on a private server. I don’t need anything to point to my wordpress.com account or blog.

  Although I bought the domain from wordpress.com, I don’t need any other domain related services from it.

  I don’t see why I need to pay for a service I don’t need.

  If the mapping is removed, some things with the registration will not work properly that’s why the domain mapping upgrade is required – even if your domain is pointed elsewhere.

  If you want you can follow this guide below which explains how to transfer the domain name to another registrar, including how to access the authorization (EPP) code:
