  I want to change my domain provider from the old one to WordPress.com. I received my transfer code but I can’t find the place to transfer my domain.
  After i transfer my domain i got some hosting things. I want that all the services comes from one source.

  Looking for your news.
  Thank you

  WordPress.com isn’t a domain registrar so you can’t transfer your domain to WordPress.com. You will need to manage the domain through your domain registrar.

  However, you can map the domain to your WordPress.com site by changing your nameservers through your domain registrar’s site in your control panel. You will need to update the name servers as below:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  Then you will need to purchase our domain mapping upgrade in your Upgrades panel in your WordPress.com account.
