  @webmistress27 http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/domain-management/#transfer-to-another-registrar should help you out.

  Quick correction: you can buy as many domains as you want, and you do not have to get staff support to add more than one domain to a blog. You can just buy new ones on the Upgrades > Domains page in the blog to add as many as you like. You can only set one primary domain per blog though. The rest will redirect to whatever is set as the primary domain.

  @webmistress27 You can see what domains you have purchased by logging in to your WordPress.com account and going to the Upgrades > Domains page for each blog. There is no penalty for moving a domain name, however, there is usually a transfer cost charged by the new registrar.

  Also check out these tips about moving to WordPress.org in our support documentation.

  Hi there,

  I am a bit confused here.

  from raincoaster “Yes, you can take it with you elsewhere, but you’ll have to renew the purchase of it with WordPress.com every year.”

  does the renew of purchase include the cost of domain mapping or it is only the US$4.99 domain fee?

  Thank you so much .
