Hi there!
I see you have a duplicated thread, asking about domain transfer. (Avoid posting similar questions in a new thread as it would be harder for you to get help)
If you have a domain purchased from another provider, you have two options:
To connect your domain, and only point it to your WordPress.com site.
Transfer your domain to your WordPress.com account so you can manage them both at the same place.
If you are interested in Connecting the domain, you should read this guide on how to do this. https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/
For the connection, you’ll need to pay for a Domain Connection here at WordPress.com, which is free with any paid plan.If you want to transfer your domain. You should read this guide on how to do this. https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/incoming-domain-transfer/
There you can read what you need to do before and after the transfer, so everything runs smoothly. The transfer has a cost too, but it is free with any new paid plan as you’d receive credit to pay for a domain for one year, and the same credit can be used for the transfer.If you have any doubts about the steps described in any of the guides, we’ll be here to answer your questions.
Hope this helped 😉 -
Additionally, you can see the available plans here:
https://wordpress.com/pricing/As I mentioned before, you receive a free domain for one year which can be used for the domain transfer, and domain connection is free for any plan too.
Cheers!
