  Can I transfer to domain name to WordPress after I build the site? I don’t want to interrupt my website if I transfer it.

  Hi there,

  You can choose to transfer a domain from a different registrar to WordPress.com, WordPress will become your registrar, and you’ll be able to manage both your site and domain from the same place also all subsequent domain renewals will be done through WordPress.com. Here’s more information on transferring a domain:

  The alternative to transferring is mapping it, you can read up more about mapping a domain to WordPress.com at this link:

  Feel free to start building your site, however, before transferring or mapping, you’ll need to have an upgraded WordPress.com Plan.

  Thanks!
