  I’m starting a site. I have a domain name registered with another provider. Is transferring or mapping better?

  Hi there,

  Neither option is better or worse than the other. It depends on what will work best for you – do you prefer to keep your domain and site separate? Then please map. Do you prefer to renew both in the same place, then transfer.

  To use a custom Domian, you will beed a WordPress.com paid plan (any paid plan).

  Here is more information you might want to check out:

  I hope this helps.
