  I own and run http://www.bbcmc.co.uk which is currently registered on 123-REG. I want to transfer the domain to WordPress and upgrade my plan to personal. I have spoken to 123-REG and they have informed me to transfer a .co.uk domain I need an IPS tag from WordPress. Can you provide this.

  Hi there. Here are the intructions to transfer your domain to WordPress: https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/incoming-domain-transfer/

  I have spoken to 123-REG and they have informed me to transfer a .co.uk domain I need an IPS tag from WordPress.

  The instructions don’t mention this IPS tag, so I’m going to call the staff to see if they can provide more information.

  Hi there,

  .uk domains cannot be transferred to WordPress.com. So you’ll have to keep it with your current registrar and connect it to your WordPress.com site. Here are the instructions on how to do that:
