  I have a .com website and want to keep the website url the same. Which should I pick?

  I don’t have a site with WordPress.com yet

  Hi there,

  What is the URL for the site you’re referring to ?

  Thank You! :)

  Hi there,

  It’s really up to you.

  If you want to keep your domain registered at the current provider, you can use the domain connection upgrade (I see you currently have that). So you’ll pay us to renew the plan, and your existing provider to renew the domain each year.

  Or if you prefer to have your domain and site with the same provider, you can transfer the domain to us. One transfer is included for free with your plan, and will also renew your domain for another year. Once the domain comes up for renewal the next time, that will be an extra cost on top of the plan’s renewal cost.

  Let us know if you have any other questions about this.
