  My domain is no longer registered with another domain host, how do I make the switch to WordPress?

  Thanks,

  If I heard correctly, you’ve got domain mapping already, so go to your UPgrades page and pick Domains and sign in to see if you can now buy the domain from WP.com.

  I’ve tried that, but it isn’t allowing me.

  Wrong sign it. I’ve tried that, but it isn’t working.

  It’s there but when I tried to but it, it says that it’s already mapped to the domain. Do I delete it?

  Thanks

  It used to be mapped to that domain, but you’ve let that domain go. You’ll have to re-purchase it. Looks like GoDaddy may have squatted it, though.

  I’ll flag this thread for staff attention.

  Thank you. GoDaddy has given me position to have WordPress transfer the domain name.

  Thanks

  I don’t think WordPress.COM is set up to accept incoming domain transfers.

  It’ll probably require staff intervention tomorrow.

  We do not currently accept incoming domain transfers. If you already have a domain and you want to use it with your WordPress.com, follow the instructions for mapping an existing domain to your WordPress.com blog. http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/
