  I had wix.com and bought a domain. I stopped the auto-renewal feature. If I want to use it for a new wordpress site in the future, how can I do it? Is it possible?

  Hi there!

  Yes, you can use the domain you bought on Wix.com for a WordPress.com website.

  There are two options to use your domain here-

  1. Transfer the domain
  If you transfer the domain to WordPress.com, you’ll be able to manage your domain and site in the same place.
  You can choose this option if your domain is more than 60 days old, i.e. you need to wait 60 days until after a domain has been registered before transferring it.

  2. Map the domain
  If you map your domain to your WordPress.com site, it’s important to note that you’ll have two separate places to maintain your domain. First, you’ll need to maintain your domain registration and renewal through Wix.com. Second, you’ll need to maintain your Domain Mapping upgrade through WordPress.com to keep using this as your site’s address.

  A WordPress.com plan is required to either transfer or map your domain here.
