  Please let me know the steps i need to take to take ownership of astralsummit.com which is fully paid for by my business partner.

  Thanks
  Allen

  Hi @allenmathews7

  If you have a paid WordPress.com plan, you can definitely connect an externally registered domain to your website. Essentially, you just need to point the DNS servers at your original domain registrar (the website where you registered your domain initially) to the WordPress.com servers.

  You would need access to the registrar and inquire with your business partners on logging in to the backend of the registrar to make these changes.

  Below is a handy guide on how to achieve this:

  If you already own a domain name with another provider, you can use that domain with your WordPress.com site. Once you complete the steps below, instead of your site address being something like yourgroovysite.wordpress.com, your site’s address will be something like yourgroovydomain.com. Follow the steps in this guide to keep your domain registered with your current provider and use it to show

  Hope this helps!
