  I want to close my Westhost account and transfer the domain names to my WordPress accounts.
  Westhost current has the URL’s I would like on my WordPress sites. I would like WordPress to take over hosting the URLs below, and notify me annually for billing.
  I NEED:
  1. URL reverbnovel.com (currently hosted and paid for annually through Westhost) to REPLACE my current WordPress site URL reverbnovel.wordpress.com.
  2. URL targetmediadesign,com (currently hosted and paid for annually through Westhost) to REPLACE my current WordPress site URL http://targetmediamarketing.wordpress.com/.
  Please tell me how to do this.
  Thanks,
  Jeri Cafesin

  Hi Jeri,

  While you can point the two domains which you mentioned towards WordPress.com via their nameservers and have them work as you described, domains cannot be transferred to WordPress.com. We are not set up in a way to be able to accept incoming domain transfers.

  If you are dedicated to not having your domains with Westhost, you can transfer your domains to another registrar of your choice and still point them towards us. There are a wide variety of registrars to choose from. Here’s an article which is a bit old, but is from a third party publication ranking registrars:

  Let me know if you have any questions!
