  I want to switch hosting and domain to wordpress.com. I unlocked dancespiral.com at Go Daddy, and paid wordpress $13 for mapping. I want to transfer Dancespiral.com on to https://dancespiral.wordpress.com, and register dancespiral.com with wordpress. It wont let me transfer / register domain. Says domain is already registered somewhere else. Go Daddy said they did everything on their end, and the domain is just sitting there. They emailed EPP info code to plug in somewhere. Where do I do that?? How can I do this?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there!

  While we register new domains here at WordPress.com, we’re not able to accept incoming transfers of existing domain names. Therefore, we recommend that you keep the name registered at your current registrar.

  You can use your existing domain with your WordPress.com site by mapping the domain, as explained here:

  If you have any other questions, please let us know. Thanks much.
