  Hi there,

  You can either transfer your domain with us or map your domain.
  Below are the details regarding the transferring domain and mapping domain.

  Transferring Domain:
  If you have a domain name registered through another provider, but would like to move the registration of the domain name to WordPress.com.
  Once the transfer of the domain name is successful, you will manage the renewals for the domain name directly through your WordPress.com account.
  .ca, .fr, .uk, and premium domains cannot be transferred in at this time. Premium domains are typically more expensive than a regular domain due to their perceived higher value. These domains can have any top level domain (.com, .org, .services).

  Map an existing domain (that you already own) to your WordPress.com site:
  If you already have a domain registered through another provider, and want to use WordPress.com to host your site without transferring the registration.
  You will continue to pay your existing domain registrar for the renewal of the domain name, and WordPress.com for hosting and domain mapping.

  You can have more details here:

  Hope this helps.

  Thanks.
