  My Wix domain sunsetinformative.com is said to have expired TODAY. I want to register that same domain with my WORDPRESS blog and registar it through WORDPRESS not WIX. I would like to do that AS SOON AS POSSIBLE so therefore those people trying to find my website aren’t confused. Why can’t I register my EXPIRED WIX DOMAIN with WORDPRESS?

  I spoke to WIX about this and they said to contact you, saying there may be some cool down period.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Wix has now said that I need to transfer the domain over and give you guys the code that they sent me. How do I get this code to you guys and go about getting this transferred?

  WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers.
