  Hello there,

  Here is the documentation you can refer to for domain transfer from the current hosting provider to WordPress.com:

  Hope this helps! :)

  Hi!

  You actually have two options here, transferring your domain registration to WordPress.com. Or “mapping” your existing domain to work with a WordPress.com site. Functionally, it really makes no difference. Both work equally well and will send users to your site when they enter your domain into their browser.

  What it really comes down to is if you have opinions on the ease of keeping your site billing in one place (one bill from WordPress.com vs a bill from WordPress.com and a bill from your domain registrar). Or if you have a particular reason to want to use an external registrar (perhaps you have many domains and want to keep them all registered in the same place).

  A bit more information can also be found here:
