  Currently, I have the webstie http://justhink.net registered with another registar. I would like to move my blog and this site over to WordPress.com, but my registration expires in 2 days. Is there any way I can “reserve” this domain through WordPress, so that when it expires WordPress will automatically register it?
  Blog url: http://justhink.net/

  Unfortunately, no. I don’t recommend letting it expire, as expired domains become the property of their registrar and are returned to the public pool only at their discretion.

  Even if your domain is with another registrar, you can map it here following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/
