  I just purchased my domain on google. Now I want to use it for my wordpress page. Do I need to pay the $18 again to transfer it if I just paid that to google a few days ago?

  Hello there,

  Many thanks for reaching out.

  It’s not possible to transfer a newly purchased domain due to an ICANN imposed 60 transfer lock – really, there’s no need to transfer at all if you don’t wish to.

  You can map the domain from Google to WordPress.com as per these instructions: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  Please note, that in order to set a primary domain, the site on WordPress.com must be on a paid plan.

  I hope this helps!
