Re: Domain transfer from GoDaddy to WordPress
-
Hey team,
Let me start by appreciating everything that you guys have done to the WordPress and Co. You all are boon to this world.
Now jumping back to question that I had. So basically I have a domain purchased since past couple years from GoDaddy (www.rahulrajput.com) for which I am paying XX amount. What I wanted to do here is first upgrade my WordPress to ‘Personal Plan’. So I have the access to domain and other stuff. Now the thing is I want to use my own domain here where I will be placing my portfolio and the subdomain will contain my wordrpesss blog. (The Desidevil). All I need from your side is to confirm that what I want is 100% possible or not? If so please pass some links, Ill figure out the rest. Thanks again, cheers!The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

We have 4 different plans: free, personal, premium and business. All hosting is free regardless of which plan you choose. You can view all wordpress.com plan features here https://wordpress.com/pricing/ Add a plan for each of your sites here: http://store.wordpress.com/plans/.
How domain mapping works
Registering an underlying .wordpress.com URL first is required for domain mapping. That underlying URL does not have to match the domain URL when you are domain mapping. What domain mapping does is providing a seamless redirect to the very same content under the new domain URL when a person clicks the old URL .wordpress.com to the original content. It can take up to 72 hours for domain propagation to take place throughout the internet but it doesn’t usually take that long. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/There are 3 ways to add a custom domain to your blog. Please note that an active WordPress.com plan is required to add a custom domain to your site. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#getting-started
WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible. http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/
The domain or mapping of any existing domain URL is included in the pricing for a personal upgrade, a premium and a business upgrade. The WordPress.COM upgrade for mapping a domain must be renewed annually.
You can use the Personal Plan, yes, but you need to add the plan first. If you add the domain first, Premium is selected automatically.
Go to My Site ->Plans and buy the Personal Plan, and then you can go back and claim your free domain at My Site ->Domains ->Add.
