    Hi there,

    I see that your domain ssstudio.ca is currently connected to your WordPress.com site, which is looking good! To clarify, you wish for things to stay exactly as they are now, but you want to move the domain to your account here so you can pay for renewals in the same place as you house your site?

    If so, you’re actually set up and ready for a smooth transition since your domain is already connected. When you transfer your domain, the current settings (which are correct) will also transfer, so there will be no downtime or surprises.

    You can get started with your domain transfer here by following the steps on-screen: https://wordpress.com/domains/add/transfer/

    Also you may want to consider upgrading to our Personal plan, which includes the domain connection upgrade you pay for separately, and also adds nice perks like extra media storage and removing the ads we show on free sites:

    In this case I wanted to bring it up specifically because if you choose the yearly (not monthly) billing option, the plan comes with a free domain transfer so you would not need to pay for that separately. In addition when the domain transfer is complete we add an extra year for free for a little extra savings. :)

    Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
