  Hi there,

  When you map a domain to WordPress.com, you need to keep the domain registered with your domain registrar. (Mapping the domain doesn’t register it; it just points a domain registered elsewhere to your WordPress.com site.)

  If you cancel your domain registration with your other registrar, there’s no guarantee that your domain will be available to register here or elsewhere after that. If your old domain registrar has cancelled and released those domain names, you can register them here at WordPress.com as new domains: Register a New Domain

  Please note that WordPress.com can’t accept incoming domain transfers, so your only options are to keep the domain registered elsewhere and map it to WordPress.com or wait for the cancelled domain to become available to register as a new domain here.

  If you have any questions about that, please let me know the exact domain names you’re dealing with so I can look up more details about them.
